The form 8995 is used to figure your qualified business income (QBI) deduction. If you have a business (1099 income), or an amount in box 5 of a form 1099-DIV, or you have a form K1 from a Public Traded Partnership, those could each trigger the form 8995.
Form 8995-A, Qualified Business Income Deduction
Unless you have entered some type of business, rental property or a Schedule K-1 on your tax return, there is no reason for a Form 8995 to be included in your tax return.
Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on Delete a form
That is a new form that takes the place of a worksheet last year AND it is GOOD for you so you WANT it ... if you click on the REVIEW tab you will see that it is expected to be ready 1/23 (subject to change) and since the IRS will not process any returns until 1/27 you can afford to be patient.
What is it for though? I don't own a business. So, if it's for that, I don't need it.
If you triggered it by mistake use the delete instructions in the first answer.
but what triggers this form? I dont see anything I did on my return that should trigger it

So I have to file a 1099-NEC so I should be patient and wait on this form correct?
The PATH Act, P.L. 114-113, Div. Q, sec. 201, accelerated the due date for filing Form 1099 that includes nonemployee compensation (NEC) from February 28 to January 31 and eliminated the automatic 30-day extension for forms that include NEC. Beginning with tax year 2020, use Form 1099-NEC to report nonemployee compensation.

Use Form8995 to figure your qualified business income (QBI) deduction. Individual taxpayers and some trusts and estates may be entitled to a deduction of up to 20% of their net QBI from a trade or business, including income from a pass-through entity, but not from a C corporation, plus 20% of qualified real estate investment trust (REIT) dividends and qualified publicly traded partnership (PTP) income. However, your total QBI deduction is limited to 20% of your taxable income, calculated before the QBI deduction, minus net capital gain.
According to IRS website, this form will not be ready until February 7 2021. Your return evidently needs this computation to accurately compute your taxes.
Because of the dates for both of these documents, I suggest you wait to ensure the accuracy of your tax return.
That doesn't work. It's still there even though I deleted.
That's what I am seeing too. I tried to delete it and it's still there.
IRS Form 8995 is used to report the Qualified Business Income Deduction. The QBID can can be generated by Schedule C, Schedule E, Schedule F or a K-1 as a result of a sole proprietorship, partnership, S corporation, trust or estate.
The REIT / PTP component can be generated from qualified real estate investment trust (REIT) dividends or qualified publically traded partnership (PTP) income. This would be reported on 1099-DIV or a K-1.
If you can identify the source of the QBI, you can delete the form and re-enter or run through the TurboTax questions to make sure that the correct entry has been made.
Forms availability shows that the form may not be finalized until January 28.
So if you are self employed (schedule c) you must wait on this form? or delete this form?
I suggest waiting for the form. This will be beneficial for your bottom line.
Additionally, the IRS will not start processing returns until February 12, so waiting for this form is not slowing down the processing of your return.
I delete it and it still will not let me file it says the IRS has not finalized one or more of your forms. I then go back in and 8995 is still there I have tried deleting it again.
You probably need to delete another form, in addition to the Form 8995.
Information entered in Schedules C, E, F, and K-1 determine whether the TurboTax program will generate a Form 8995. If you had one of these forms from last year (2019), the program will copy it to your 2020 tax file. It does this to make sure you don't forget to see if you need to report the same income in 2020.
If there is a Schedule C, E, F, and/or K-1 in your 2020 tax file, you won't be able to delete the Form 8985.
If you don't need to report a Schedule C, E, F, and/or K-1in 2020, use the Delete a Form tool to remove them and the Form 8995.
I have tried to delete this form (which I don't need or use) multiple times using the "remove form" action under the Forms dropdown menu. It will not go away, it's all I need to file electronically. Turbo Tax tells me that I can file by mail, but I don't want to use snail mail.
If you have tried to delete Form 8995 and it reappears, there is something in your return that is generating the form.
It is actually a Deduction for you (which is good) so you may want to be patient and wait for the form to be ready so you can claim the deduction.
