When using TT 2021, I answered "no" the the QBI safe harbor question. The next screen asks "Is this Qualified business Income?". I answered "Yes" after reading the content at the hyperlink in that page which includes "There is one instance where this type of activity is definitely a trade or business. Rents or royalties that are paid to a trade or business that is also at least 50% owned by the same person (or people) who owns the property generating the rents or royalties are automatically defined as a trade or business." Since I am a 100% owner of this property, I interpreted this to mean that I should answer "Yes" to the QBI question even though this is a passive activity for me demanding less than 250 hrs per year. Note that this is property is not held in an LLC or other structure - the rent is paid directly to me.
Before we delve any further into the QBI question from my past post, please confirm that I am interpreting the quoted passage correctly.
Also, good to know that you don't have direct access to returns. I was surprised by Mike9241 's response which began "we can't see your return" which I thought was an odd thing to state unless you were inviting me to somehow share access to my return for assistance in addressing the question. I obviously misinterpreted his meaning which I guess was just a statement of the obvious. 🙂
