You'll need to decide whether or not you want to aggregate the businesses in 2019. Once you aggregate, you must continue to aggregate in future years. But, not aggregating last year does not preclude you from aggregating this year. Refer to the IRS instructions for Form 8995-A for more information on aggregation.
Once you decide, save a back-up copy (Save As) of your tax return and then try this approach:
In Forms mode, find the schedule for each business/source of QBI (e.g., Schedule E), and then find the Qualified Business Income Deduction Smart Worksheet for that form (e.g., for Schedule E it is after Line 22 Deductible rental real estate loss). Question A in that smart worksheet asks which QBI worksheet to report (QuickZoom). Choosing the same QBI worksheet for all businesses is how TurboTax aggregates them for QBI calculations; conversely if you use a separate QBI worksheet for each business/source of QBI they do not aggregate for the calculation. The QBI worksheet is named the "QBI component worksheet".
So, you can delete the QBI component worksheets that are not like you want, and repopulate new QBI component worksheets in the Qualified Business Income Deduction Smart Worksheet for each Schedule E, question A.
Sometimes if you find and click on the question or "box" in Forms, and then go to the View in the top menu and select "Step-by-Step" it will jump you back to the interview question.
