TurboTax is adding the form back after you delete it because there is an entry somewhere that requires the Form 8995.  Check to make sure you don't have 1099-DIV box 5 Section 199A dividends, or a K-1 with qualified real estate investment trust (REIT) dividends or qualified publicly traded partnership (PTP) income. 

 

In other words, you can get the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction even if you don't personally run a business, because the QBI deduction also applies to things other than income from businesses you run personally.  

 

Eligible taxpayers to deduct up to 20 percent of their 1099-DIV box 5 Section 199A dividends, qualified real estate investment trust (REIT) dividends, and qualified publicly traded partnership (PTP) income. 

 

You do not enter this deduction, it is automatically calculated by TurboTax based on your other entries, so you should be able to find one of the above types of income entered in your tax return from a 1099-DIV or a Schedule K-1.
