Question

Qualified Business Income Deduction

I do not own any businesses and I don't have any business related expenses. However, Turbo Tax seems to auto-calculated my QBI to be $1. Is this mandatory? Is this expected? Or should I just delete this form?

Level 15

It probably comes from an amount in box 5 of a 1099-DIV.

Can I simply delete the QBI form or should I just keep the $1 or whatever Turbo Tax calculated?

Level 15

I kept the QBI, but then before I file, TurboTax kept asking me to review the QBI numbers. Is that a technical glitch? I don't have a business so I don't understand why it calculated the QBI in the first place. Any advice?

You didn’t answer whether you have a 1099-DIV with an amount in Box 5.
