If you are reporting $0 income or loss, go back through the questions at the screen Did you participate?.

Follow these directions:

  • At the screen Farm Summary, click on Edit to the right of the farm activity.
  • Click on Update to the right of Farm Information.
  • Click through several pages until you reach the screen Did you participate?
  • Click on Easyguide and answer the questions.

You may be eligible for a qualified business income deduction. 

  • At the screen Your farming income and expenses, click Continue.
  • At the screen Is this qualified business income?, you may want to review the link on the page More info about what's considered a qualified business.

That did the trick.  I guess I forgot to select Yes on "Did you Participate."  Thank you.
