From what I read the form is automatically created. But it's not available to file and it's 1/29/2021

TurboTax will generate Form 8995 when you report on your tax return any:

  • Self employment income 
  • Schedule K-1 
  • 1099-DIV with income in box 5. 

The form will be available on 02/04/2020. Federal Individual Form Availability

I am unable to file my return as Form 8895 is still not available.  How long will it take?

 

Thank you!

Form 8995 (Use Form 8995 to figure your qualified business income deduction) is showing as available.   If you are using the desktop software, please make sure it is updated.    @NickyKyle

Hi Dawn

 

I have updated my desktop software and yet it still states the Form 8995 is being worked on by the government and when I looked again it states Form 1040: Individual is also waiting for the government.  

 

Thanks, @DawnC

I opened my Turbo Tax today and there were no updates. It's still not prompting me to complete a Form 8995. Please let me know when I can expect this form to be available. I would really like to file my taxes and it's the last form to complete. Thanks.

Forms availability states that IRS form 8995 is currently available.

 

I prepared a tax return with self-employment income in TurboTax Online Self-employed.  The software generated IRS Form 8995 Qualified Business Income Deduction.

Mine has not updated nor has it generated Form 8995. It's holding up my filing.

What income should be generating IRS form 8995? The Qualified Business Income Deduction can be generated from one of two components.

  • The QBI component can result from a sole proprietorship, partnership, S corporation, trust or estate.  The first component would likely be reported on Schedule C, Schedule E, Schedule F or a K-1. 
  • The REIT / PTP component can be generated from qualified real estate investment trust (REIT) dividends or qualified publicly traded partnership (PTP) income.  The second component could be reported on 1099-DIV or a K-1.

Perhaps the type of income is not generating IRS form 8995.

It ended up being one question that did not generate the QBI. I answered no and the answer was yes. As soon as I answered the question correctly (Worksheets for Schedule C) it populated the 8995. Thanks!

Where is this question "Worksheets for Schedule C"?
