It is not a software error. The reason is because there are two questions that must be answered before TurboTax makes a final determination as to whether you believe your rental real estate activity meets the requirements to utilize the qualified business income deduction (QBID).

  1. Open your TurboTax return > Search (upper right) type rentals > Press enter > Click the Jump to ... link
  2. Edit next to your rental activity > Scroll to Qualified Business Income > Edit/Update >
  3. Select 'None of the above' on the Real Estate Professional page
  4. Continue to the page Do you want to use a safe harbor.... Select 'None of these apply' > Continue
  5. Select 'No', on the page  Is this Qualified Business Income?
    • OR
  6. Open your TurboTax return > Search (upper right) type Qualified business income deduction  > Press enter > Click the Jump to ... link
  7.  Arrive at the QBID section to answer the questions shown above

Once this is completed, you should not have any statement included with your tax return.
