I am preparing my fathers return. His income comes from Social Security, an IRA Distribution, and some interest and dividends. He shares a condo with my sister and has some mortgage interest deductions for that. Other then medical expenses, that's all that his return consists of. This year line 10 of 1040 shows a qualified business deduction of $86. I don't know where it came from. Last year it was blank. The Qualified Business Income Deduction Summary shows Total REIT dividends of $428. I don't know where that comes from, he has no business. Line 7a, other income is blank. Business income in easy Step is $0.
The $86 and $428 are calculated, and double clicking on them only opens windows with likewise calculated values.
