How do I remove the qualified business income deduction? Turbotax is giving me this deduction even though I don't qualify for it.

I see it in the federal review summary, and I found the page where it is giving me the credit, but I don't see how to delete it.

Why don't you think you qualify for it? Do you have a 1099-DIV with an amount in Box 5?

I'm having the same issue. I have to use the online version and it isn't letting me remove this option either or edit the 1040 directly like I would do on the desktop version. Very aggravating! How can I remove it????

Are you sure you don't qualify for it? Do you have a 1099-DIV with an amount in Box 5? @Lylipad If not is comes from business/self-employment income. Use the instructions below to delete forms in TurboTax.
