Why do I not have schedule 1 completed even though I show a (small) business loss?

I am filing out the College Board CSS. I had only $27 in business income, derived from REIT investment dividends, shown on Form 8995. Using TurboTax, I did not file Schedule 1 showing Business Income. Should I have filed Schedule 1?

If you used TurboTax to complete your tax return, your Schedule 1 would have been automatically created by the program and filed with your tax return, if it was required.

Form 1040 Schedule 1 is used to report certain types of income that aren't listed on the main 1040 form. It's also used to claim some tax deductions.

You stated you had business income of $27 from REIT investment dividends, shown on Form 8995.

Form 8995 reports your Qualified Business Income deduction (QBI).

The QBI deduction will flow to line 10 of Form 1040 or 1040-SR, or line 38 of Form 1040-NR.

You’ll see Form 8995-A and accompanying schedules if:

You have QBI, qualified REIT dividends, or qualified PTP income or loss; and
Your 2019 taxable income before your QBI deduction is more than $160,700 ($160,725 if Married Filing Separately or a married nonresident alien; $321,400 if Married Filing Jointly); or
You’re a patron in a specified agricultural or horticultural cooperative.

Based on the information you provided, it doesn't appear that a Schedule 1 would have been necessary to file.
