Hello, I have been the landlord of 5 rental properties for over 20 years. I spend over 1/2 my time taking care of these properties and have always claimed to be a "real estate professional" who is actively involved with managing the properties. I ALSO have a separate full time career with w-2 income. Ive always filed a 1040 with my w-2 income and listed my rentals on schedule E. I do not have a sole proprietorship or LLC. This year turbo tax home and business is asking me "Is this qualified business income?" The income meets all the criteria so I choose "yes" but then it asks me to enter my Sole proprietorship or LLC EIN, which I do not have. If I select "no" to the question it asks me if I should change my previous entries. I'm very confused by all of this. Can you please clarify what I should be doing? Thank you!
