Hi there,

I'm using TurboTax Home & Business (bought software), and Married Filing Jointly.

I am the one filing, and my spouse has a small business (i have nothing to do with it).

Below are my questions:

Some of the business-related forms have my SSN on it (not the spouse's), and both of our names are on it. There are some business forms that has only my spouse's name/SSN on it, which got me worried. Is this normal? The ones that I found that has my SSN on it are:
1. 8995-A - Qualified Business Income Deduction
2. Schedule C - Loss Netting and Carryforward
3. 4562 - Depreciation and Amortization
UBIA (Unadjusted Basis Immediately after Acquisition of Assets) have an absurdly high value (compared to the size of current business), which I did not input. I'm not sure I understand it even after I google it. While I'm sure I input everything correct, I want to make sure if I overlooked something, causing something to be miscalculated?
If I don't e-file state tax, will turbotax still give me forms that I can print out and mail it on my own? (I feel like $20 just for filing is too much.. after all, I purchased Turbotax to save money)

1. No, if it is you spouse's business it should be her name/social on the forms. Go back to the Self-Employment section and make sure the Business Info is correct.

2. The UBIA might be high IF there are a lot of business assets that had special depreciation or 179. You can check this on the Depreciation Worksheet.

3. Yes you can print and mail the state tax returns.

Hi Mary, appreciate your comments.

1. That's the thing, I input the business in my spouse's name. Still, only "Schedule C (Form1040) - Profit or Loss From Business" just shows my spouse's name and SSN. But all other forms are in my SSN.

2. I have not entered the Depreciation section.

Yes, that's normal. If you are listed first on the tax return then all tax forms that belong to the return, with the exception of the business schedule will be under your name and social security number (SSN). The business will be under your spouse.

The assets for the business will be the depreciation section.

Edit beside the business and you may need to 'Add more Expenses for this work' or select Assets

Hi Dianne, thank you for your reply.

For UBIA, after some googling, I think it is because I put my current home as home office. So total value of the home multiplied by some factors (such as how much % of home I use for business, etc..)

But I could not figure out how the numbers are exactly calculated. Does anyone know how it is calculated, so I can cross-check the number? Also, not sure if having mortgage affects this value..
