I entered all detail but does NOT finally submitted my tax return yet.
I earned Nothing in my self-incorporated company but expenses were $1190 in 2019.
In SCHEDULE C
Did you “materially participate” in the operation of this business during 2019? If “No,” see instructions for limit on losses = No
Line#29 Tentative profit or (loss). Subtract line 28 from line 7. = -1190
Line#32 If you have a loss, check the box that describes your investment in this activity.
If you checked 32a, enter the loss on both Schedule 1, line 3 = It's Checked on 32a
SCHEDULE 1 Line#3 Business income or (loss). Attach Schedule C = 0
Also in Form 8995
1(i): Qualified Business Income or Loss = 0
My question is
Should this loss of -1190 be considered in this 2019 return and should not be 0 ?
Or If not possible due to any limit then
Can I add this loss in my next year 2020 return?
Please suggest.

I am assuming you mean Self-Employed Business and that you are not incorporated and filing a business return. Active participation is what determines if your losses are passive and must be limited.
I understand you have a loss, but why do you say you did not materially participate?
The IRS defines participation as: In general, any work you do in connection with an activity in which you own an interest is treated as participation in the activity.
