Question

Form 1041 and QBI

On my grand daughter's Trust return I am getting a mistake that says "Form 1041: QBI deduction on Form 1041 does not equal to the amount computed on the QBI deduction summary worksheet. Please review on Form 1041, Line 20"

I have not made any QBI deduction on my forms.

What is the problem?

Which type(s) of income did you enter? If you enter Forms Mode, you can check Form 8995 and/or 8995-A, the latter of which is not ready for filing; look for any amounts on the form that appear in your forms list.

I am having the same problem on my late wife's trust for our children. There is only one IRS form, a 1099-DIV and that has been entered. I have also entered all information on distributions on from the trust, and TurboTax has created the Schedule K-1. All of the TurboTax "Federal Taxes" steps have been completed and the error message was from the "Federal Review" dialog.

A recent TurboTax update should fix QBI issues such as yours.  But, reports are that forms with the QBI income (including QBI reported on Form 1099-DIV and Schedule K-1s received must first be deleted and re-entered.

 

Note that you don't necessarily elect to make a QBI deduction; some forms have "Section 199A" income that automatically generates a QBI deduction in TurboTax.
