Hi,
Why I trying to prepare Federal return, it said" Check This Entry"-"Qualified Business Income Component wkst"-"Aggregation changes stmt must be entered"-"Aggregation changes stmt", What does this mean? And what should I input here?
Thank you very much.
Aggregation refers to an option you would have taken to treat multiple businesses as one for purposes of the qualified business income (QBI) deduction.
To de-select the 'aggregation' option, go back through the interview for each business or rental property you entered. If you see a screen asking if your taxable income might exceed $160,700 (or $321,400 if married filing a joint return), answer Yes (even if that is not the case). Answer No to the specified services trade or business question (unless it applies to your business).
You should then encounter the screen "Should [name] be treated as part of a combined business?". That screen will give you the option to combine the business or rental into another or indicate that the "business" is independent of any other activities.
If you do want to 'aggregate' your businesses, here's what an Aggregation Statement would include:
- A description of each trade or business or property.
- The name and EIN of each entity in which a trade or business or property is operated.
- Information identifying any trade or business that was formed, ceased operations, was acquired, or was disposed of during the taxable year.
- Information identifying any aggregated trade or business or property of an RPE in which the RPE holds an ownership interest.
- Such other information as the Commissioner may require in forms, instructions, or other published guidance.
Hi,
I already deleted the dividends entry, but when I run check, "Form 8939, Dividends I must be entered", actually I dont need to report dividend, and don't need to show where to report, form and line, schedule and line. How should I fix this issue, thank you.
You can Delete Form 8938 from your return.
In the left menu pane, choose Tax Tools > Tools, then 'Delete a Form' from the pop-up menu.
There are a few exceptions to taxation on settlements.
If this was in connection with a personal injury lawsuit (car accident, slip and fall, etc.), it is not reported or taxable, whether lump sum or periodic payments. This isn't the forum to publicly share the reason for your settlement, but anything 1099-reportable would be with the wording of the settlement agreement. Hopefully, you have a copy, and there likely is law firm contact info in it which could expedite an answer.
Otherwise, though, the guidance from others about taxability is correct. And unless you have it in writing that it's not, I'd be wary of not reporting it.
Hi,
After I deleted, can I still add it back, because even I didn't need to add dividend, but I still need to add interest.
Thank you.
Here's How to Report Interest (whether or not you have a 1099-INT, it is reported the same way).
TurboTax asks for an EIN Number of the party that paid the settlement. If the payor has not provided that, and no 1099, how do you proceed?
What income are you reporting that was not reported on a 1099 form? What is the nature of the settlement? Was this a class-action lawsuit?
Some large class-action lawsuits will maintain websites to report their side of the lawsuit. An EIN may be found there.
This was a Class Action Securities Litigation settlement distribution.
TurboTax does not allow e-filing the return without an EIN for the payor. The payor has decided not to provide a 1099 form for this purpose, hence the catch 22.
To report income from a Class Action Settlement, go to
On the Income Topics page, scroll all the way down to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-C, 1099-A, Start
On the next page, scroll all the way down to Other Reportable Income, Start
Then you'll be able to enter a Description/Amount.
The income will show on Schedule 1, Line 12.
