Deductions & credits

@ericinmaryland makes another good point.  I don't even need 8995-A to file my return.  Everything is handled with 8995.  So in reality the fact that 8995-A is not yet available should not affect my ability to e-file.  Yet the software cannot get past what it thinks is a problem.

 

Who Must File


Individuals and eligible estates and trusts
that have QBI use Form 8995 to figure the
QBI deduction if:


• You have QBI, qualified REIT
dividends, or qualified PTP income or loss
(all defined later),
• Your 2019 taxable income before your
QBI deduction is less than or equal to
$160,700 ($160,725 if married filing
separately or a married nonresident alien;
$321,400 if married filing jointly), and
• You aren’t a patron in a specified
agricultural or horticultural cooperative.


Otherwise, use Form 8995-A, Qualified
Business Income Deduction, to figure your
QBI deduction
