Form 8995: Where is the Net QBI being calculated?

Form 8995 starts with "Net QBI" in cell 1(i)(c) (near the top). Where is the TurboTax worksheet that supports this calculation? Have tried searching for it in Forms view and Print view, and none of the documents with "QBI" in the name show the actual calculation to get to "Net QBI". The ones I found all start with the Net QBI number (QBI Component Worksheet, QBI Deduction Summary). Thx.

ColeenD3, thanks for your reply, but my original post mentioned the two worksheets, including the one in your reply.  My question remains, how is the number in Line 1, "Net QBI", calculated and where is the TT worksheet that shows the calculation steps to get to Net QBI? I've tried backing into it, but have so far been unsuccessful.

I have the same concern.  I have income components from a K1 and Schedule F.  The combined income minus the allowable deductions does not equal  the net QBI per TT calculations.  I cannot find a worksheet that explains how they calculated the net QBI.  I know how to calculate it, but I am trying to find how TT is getting a different number than I am.

The QBID calculations take place on IRS Form 8995 or 8995-A

 

Other worksheets that you may find are:

  • Qualified Business Income Component Worksheet (may be multiple worksheets, and
  • Qualified Business Income Deduction Summary.

You will find these forms in both the online and desktop versions of TurboTax.
