Form 8995 and QBID (Uber Eats Food Delivery)

[UhrmanRL]

TurboTax:

I have completed everything for my taxes, but TurboTax won't let me file. The error notice said that Form 8995 wasn't finalized by the IRS. I've never completed Form 8995 before, but this is also the first year I drove for Uber Eats as a sidejob.

How long until Form 8995 is finalized? Do I actually need to complete this form? I did a little research and found a way to delete that form from my return. After deleting, it still won't let me file. Now I'm worried I shouldn't have deleted the form.

Ugh. Thank you for your help.

TurboTax probably generated Form 8995, Qualified Business Income Deduction, for you as a result of your Uber Eats Income, which is actually a good thing for you.

If you deleted the form manually, it was probably regenerated if the income hadn't been changed.

You are correct that Form 8995 was just approved by the IRS, so you could run through the section again later to check if it is ready to Efile.

Since the IRS is not receiving efiled returns until February 12, you have time to resolve the 8995 issue.

This problem is still occurring, are there any updates?

IRS Form 8995 and 8995-A are both available according to forms availability.

If your self-employment activity generates self-employment income, this form generates the qualified business income deduction.
