    QBI calculation changing

    carlene
    Level 1

    We had 2 returns saved as of 2/7/2019. (PROSERIES)  Each return had either rental property or K1.  When I opened the returns today QBI amount changed.  Has anyone else had this issue?  Are updates changing these returns?

    They're still working on the QBI worksheets.  So I'm not surprised if the calculations are changing (particularly with the K-1s).  It's going to be important this year to have an expectation of what the system should calculate for QBID and not just blindly rely on the software to get it right.

    Carlene - you, I and the rest of the users on here will never know the answer to this question because there is no one from Pro Series here to answer it.

    Call in and open a case with Pro Series.

    I called the wait time is crazy.  I do not have 45 minutes to hold.

    Yes, the numbers kept changing with each update even on completed &/or e-filed returns.

    Something must have driven that change.  Could you identify what has changed?

    Their updates kept changing the functionality/programing and changed numbers within the QBI worksheets even if you didn't "recalculate" the return.  Every time they tried to fix something, they caused other problems.

    Yes but what in the underlying calculation has changed?
