QBI you vs them


ILLMAS

Recommended Posts

I've been digging around ATX and Proseries to see if in anywhere one can check-off to let the K-1 recipient know they qualify QBI or the person preparing the tax return know.  Does it exist and maybe I am not seeing it?  I would hate for the IRS to challenge a TP because their preparer took QBI on a candy store or any non-qualifying business.

QBI is not determined by the person that creates the K-1.  There are several other factors, that determine I a K-1 qualifies for QBI.

I disagree.  The person creating the K-1 has to indicate to the partner/shareholder/REIT owner how much of the income generated is from QBI sources.  It is reported on the K-1 on lines 20/17/14 (I am not sure of the exact line numbers) to be input onto the K-1 worksheet of the final personal tax return.  When preparing the personal tax return we must include all forms of QBI, including Schedule C (if any), to determine the final amount of QBI, subject to taxable income limitations.

I agree the information MUST be on the K-1 for the personal return preparer to then see if they still qualify.  3 different update seminars I went to said that was going to be the biggest problem this year and also a big liability for the entity preparer if they don't include it on K-1's.
