Should adding a depreciation expense increase taxes?

[TimTheLandlord]

TurboTax did not fill in lines 17-26 on form 8995, do you think that is the issue?

Line 17 states to enter the amount from line 3 (which has a value), and line 17 is empty, same for the other lines. I would have though TT would automatically carry that value over.    I checked and I'm running the latest version of TT.

I can't help with the form 8995 issue, as even with my three rentals I don't come anywhere close to the "250 hours per year" requirement, and therefore don't qualify for QBI. I've never qualified since the QBI deduction was instituted.

your looking at form 8995-A which is not final for 2022. in addition, it is only applicable in situations where your income is above a certain amount and your aggregating activities - taxable income, before your qualified business income deduction, is above $170,050 ($340,100 if married filing jointly), or you’re a patron of an agricultural or horticultural cooperative.

line 17 part III

Complete Part III only if your taxable income is more than $170,050 but not $220,050 ($340,100 and $440,100 if married filing jointly) and line 10 is less than line 3. Otherwise, skip Part III.

if your taxable income is too high you get no QBI deduction.  that's probably why you say line 17 is blank.

my test indicates form 8995-A works. income above those thresholds and line 17 is blank the QBI deduction is 0.
