When you are researching your TurboTax calculations, it may be helpful to keep in mind that the "flow" of the QBI deduction calculation depends on the source of the QBI (Schedule C, Schedule E rental, Schedule K-1, or Form 1099-DIV). In general the flow is from the source to a QBI Component worksheet to the QBI Ded Summary to the Form 8995/8995-A. By looking at those forms, you can usually diagnose "what happened" in your QBI deduction calculation. There is a section on Schedule C, Schedule E, and Schedule K-1 where the QBI information calculation "starts", based on inputs.
This can be done in Forms mode of the Download/CD version of TurboTax. In TurboTax Online you will need to "Print or Preview" a PDF of your return with the worksheets to track "what happened" with your QBI deduction calculation:
- Select Tax Tools and then Print Center from the left menu.
- Select the first option, Print, save, or preview this year's return and follow any additional instructions.
