I have no business but get a QBI deduction.  Have done the return twice and can't figure out where the error is.

You do not necessarily have to have a business to get the QBI deduction.

 

If you have reported a form 1099-DIV with box 5 filled (Section 199a dividends), you are eligible for the QBI deduction.

    Thanks so much!  Was afraid to submit return with what I thought was an obvious error.  I genuinely appreciate you help.
