My research points to the fact the a passive investor can still claim QBI if the partnership is a qualified trade or business because participation is not mandatory. I have a client with an ordinary business loss this year in his passive investment (his share is 2.275 and he does not participate in management), but if I enter the QBI information, it throws the passive loss into the non-passive column on Schedule E2.
I understand there is no QBI deduction because of the loss, but I want to be consistent with future years when there might be income. The trade or business is a restaurant.
Thank you to anyone that can show me what I am not understanding.
