To make this error even more stupefying, I have two rental properties. The Schedule E worksheet for the first seems to work correctly. The Schedule E worksheet for the second one seems to be comparing the 2020 QBI Operating loss number to the 2021 "regular tax" Operating loss number rather than comparing it to the 2020 "regular tax" Operating loss number. (I know this because the error message I receive includes the "regular tax" operating loss value shown in BOTH coumns for TY2021) In my situation they are or should be the same values in both columns for all years. Why would the worksheet work correctly for one property and not the other? Good grief!
And the stupid program probably won't let me eFile until all "errors" are resolved - which seems to be impossible.
