Hello
I am renting a portion of my only primary home that i live in and gained rental income with a normal salary job (no other income besides salary and rental). I then finished Turbotax for 2020 year and I noticed the Section 199A Rental Real Estate Safe Habor statement. I never checked this but it was generated. I am not sure if this is related to Form 8995A for QBI but I got QBI from box 5 on a 1099-DIV form.
I tried to go through the easy step-by-step back to the moment it asks for QBI for rent and I said no. However I got this form. That form contains "250 or more hours of rental services were performed with respect to the rental enterprise" and "The property was not used as a residence for any part of the year" and I do not qualify so I do not want it in the document.
I tried to delete the form and it doesnt come back using
But this only deletes the form, and it doesnt come back. I am not sure if that is ok.
When i go to end of the federal summary I see QBI with company "n/a" not sure if that is right either.
Is it ok to just delete the form and send it to the IRS?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
You should be OK then. Even if the form was included, it has no significance since you are not treating the rental income as QBI.
Since you have qualified business income deduction (QBI) associated with your dividends, you will have a form 8995 generated to account for the dividends. So, if you delete that form it may increase your income tax.
If you don't want to treat the rental income as QBI income, you can review the rental income section and look for that option towards the end of the routine and simply indicate that the rental income is not QBI.
I already marked my rental income not to be QBI which is why i assume it was generated for the dividends so i dont think i can delete it. I was mainly talking about the 199A safe habor statement that requires me to sign that i don't live at the property which is clearly wrong. I marked no but it was generated. I deleted it later and made sure i didnt have it checked and it hasnt reappeared, I am hoping that deleting it is fine.
You should be OK then. Even if the form was included, it has no significance since you are not treating the rental income as QBI.
Thank you, i can finish off my taxes now.
How do I remove safe harbor? I want to file online.
