This article explains why ProConnect Tax may not include rental real estate income in a Qualified Business Income (QBI) calculation and how to identify a property or activity as qualified.
ProConnect Tax doesn't automatically include most Schedule E rentals in QBI calculations due to guidance in IRS Pub. 535 which says rental real estate qualifies for a QBI deduction if it meets the requirements of a safe harbor or is a section 162 trade or business.
The program will calculate QBI for Schedule E activities marked as land, self-rentals, real estate professionals, or as claiming safe harbor. If none of those conditions apply, an override is available to indicate the activity is a qualified trade or business.
- Notice 2019-07 also provides a safe harbor under which a rental real estate enterprise will be treated as a trade or business for purposes of the QBI deduction.
