The Qualified Business Income Deduction can be generated from one of two components. 

  • The QBI component can result from a sole proprietorship, partnership, S corporation, trust or estate.  The first component would likely be reported on Schedule C, Schedule E, Schedule F or a K-1. 
  • The REIT / PTP component can be generated from qualified real estate investment trust (REIT) dividends or qualified publically traded partnership (PTP) income.  The second component could be reported on 1099-DIV or a K-1.

The IRS intends for the REIT / PTP component to be reported on IRS Form 8995.  This IRS Publication states:

 

REIT/PTP Component.

 

This component of the deduction equals 20% of the combined qualified REIT dividends (including REIT dividends earned through a regulated investment company (RIC)) and qualified PTP income/(loss). This component is not limited by W-2 wages or the UBIA of qualified property. Depending on the taxpayer's income, the amount of PTP income that qualifies may be limited depending on the type of business engaged in by the PTP.
