QBI calculation on two activities?

[ronir]

If my schedule K-1 shows:

Box 1 - $100 loss (with a passive carryforward loss of $3,200)

Box 2 - $6,267 gain (with a passive carryforward loss of $9)

Is the QBI calculated on the net of these two, or are separate QBI's calculated for each box? And does it take into consideration the carryforward losses for each activity?

Thank you in advance for assistance provided.

I assume you are working on a partnership K-1 schedule, where box 1 would be business income and box 2 would be rental income. The carryover loss for each would likely reduce the income reported for this year for qualifed business income (QBI) purposes, but not necessarily, as QBI is calculated separately from net business or rental income. The QBI would be calculated separetely for each category of income, taking into consideration the QBI loss carryforward from the previous year. The QBI for each category would be combined and then added to other QBI on the tax return to arrive at one figure to be used in the calculation of your QBI deduction on Form 1040.
