Where'd that come from?

AFAIK a rental needs to be a trade or business to qualify for the QBI deduction.

If it is a Trade or Business, it would be on the 1065 (unless the owners were only husband-and-wife).   Mere co-ownership of a rental doesn't need to be on a 1065 because it is not a "trade or business".
