Deduction for Qualified Business Income

otherwise noted.
Estates and trusts. To the extent that a grantor or another person
is treated as owning all or part of a trust or estate, the owner will
compute its QBI deduction for the portion of the trust owned as if
section 199A items had been received directly by the owner.
Generally, in the case of a non-grantor trust or estate, the trust or
estate may either claim the QBI deduction or provide information to
their beneficiaries. In determining the QBI deduction or the
information that must be provided to beneficiaries, the estate or trust
allocates section 199A items based on the relative proportion of the
estate's or trust's distributable net income (DNI) for the tax year
distributed (or required to be distributed) to the beneficiary or
retained by the estate or trust. If the estate or trust has no DNI for the
tax year, section 199A items are allocated entirely to the estate or
trust.
Estates and trusts may compute their own QBI deduction to the
extent section 199A items are allocated to the estate or trust.
However, section 199A items allocated to beneficiaries aren’t
includible in the estate’s or trust’s QBI deduction computation. See
the Instructions for Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates
and Trusts.

Electing Small Business Trusts (ESBT). An ESBT is required to
compute the QBI deduction separately for the S and non-S portions
of the trust. If applicable, the Form 8995-A used to compute the S
portion’s QBI deduction must be attached as a PDF to the ESBT Tax
Worksheet filed with Form 1041, and the trust must indicate that the
information is applicable to the S portion only, by writing “ESBT” in
the top margin of the Form 8995-A. See the Instructions for Form
1041.
In general, the amount of your QBI deduction equals your QBI
component plus your qualified real estate investment trust (REIT)
and qualified publicly traded partnership (PTP) component
(REIT/PTP component). However, the deduction is limited to the
lesser of this amount or 20% of your taxable income, calculated
before the QBI deduction, minus your net capital gain (increased by
any qualified dividends). Depending on your taxable income, your
QBI component may also be limited based on the type of trade or
business, W-2 wages paid by that business, and Unadjusted Basis
Immediately after Acquisition (UBIA) of qualified property held by the
business.
Determining Your QBI Deduction
Determine your QBI component. To figure your QBI deduction,
you must first determine your QBI component. Your QBI component
is generally 20% of your QBI from your domestic trades or
businesses. However, if your taxable income (before the QBI
deduction) exceeds the threshold ($364,200 if married filing jointly,
and $182,100 for all other returns), your QBI for each of your trades
or businesses may be partially or fully reduced to the greater of 50%
of W-2 wages paid by the qualified trade or business, or 25% of W-2
wages plus 2.5% of the UBIA of qualified property from the qualified
trade or business. The partial or full reduction to QBI is determined
by your taxable income. If your taxable income (before the QBI
deduction) is:

See the Instructions for Form 1120-S, U.S. Income Tax Return for
an S Corporation, and Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership
Income.

trades or businesses for taxpayers with taxable income, before the
QBI deduction, above the threshold and phased-in range.
As provided in section 162, an activity qualifies as a trade or
business if your primary purpose for engaging in the activity is for
income or profit and you’re involved in the activity with continuity and
regularity.
If you own an interest in a pass-through entity, the trade or
business determination is made at the entity level. Material
participation under section 469 isn’t required to qualify for the QBI
deduction. Eligible taxpayers with income from a trade or business
may be entitled to the QBI deduction if they otherwise satisfy the
requirements of section 199A.
The ownership and rental of real property may constitute a trade
or business if it meets the standard described above. Also, Revenue
Procedure 2019-38 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. Rental real estate that doesn’t meet the
requirements of the safe harbor may still be treated as a trade or
business for purposes of the QBI deduction if it is a section 162
trade or business.

Services performed as an employee excluded from qualified
trades or businesses. The trade or business of performing
services as an employee isn’t a trade or business for purposes of
section 199A. Therefore, any amounts reported on Form W-2, box 1,
other than amounts reported in box 1, if “Statutory Employee” on
Form W-2, box 13, is checked, aren’t QBI. If you were previously an
employee of a business and continue to provide substantially the
same services to that business after you’re no longer treated as an
employee, there is a presumption that you’re providing services as
an employee for purposes of section 199A for the 3-year period after
ceasing to be an employee. You may rebut this presumption on

SSTBs excluded from your qualified trades or businesses.
SSTBs are generally excluded from the definition of a qualified trade
or business if the taxpayer's taxable income exceeds the threshold
plus the phase-in range. Therefore, no QBI, W-2 wages, or UBIA of
qualified property from the specified service trade or business are
taken into account in figuring your QBI deduction. If the SSTB is
conducted by your pass-through entity, the same limitation applies to
the pass-through items.
Exception 1: If your 2023 taxable income before the QBI
deduction isn’t more than $364,200 if married filing jointly, and
$182,100 for all other returns, your SSTB is treated as a qualified
trade or business, and thus may generate income eligible for the QBI
deduction.

eligible for the QBI deduction for the tax year, regardless of your
taxable income.
De minimis rule 3. If your trade or business provides services or
property to an SSTB and there is 50% or more common ownership
of the trades or businesses, that portion of the business that
provides services or property to the SSTB is treated as a separate

deduction, or loss is included in QBI.
1. You or a group of persons directly or indirectly own 50% or
more of each trade or business for a majority of the tax year,
including the last day of the tax year, and all trades or businesses
use the same tax year end.
Losses or deductions from a qualified trade or business that are
suspended by other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code are not
qualified losses or deductions and therefore, are not included in your
QBI for the year. Such Code provisions include, but aren’t limited to,
sections 163(j), 179, 461(l), 465, 469, 704(d), and 1366(d). Instead,
qualified losses and deductions are taken into account in the tax
year they’re included in calculating your taxable income.
When losses or deductions are suspended, you must determine
the qualified portion of the losses or deductions that must be
included in QBI in subsequent years when allowed in calculating
your taxable income. In general, losses and deductions incurred
prior to 2018 are not qualified losses or deductions and are not
included in QBI in the year they are included in calculating taxable
income.
If a loss or deduction is partially suspended, only the portion of
the allowed loss or deduction attributable to QBI must be considered
when determining QBI from the trade or business in the year the loss
or deduction is incurred. The portion of the allowed loss or deduction
attributable to QBI is determined by first calculating the percentage
of the total loss attributable to QBI by dividing the portion of the total
loss attributable to QBI by the overall total loss. The allowed loss or
deduction is then multiplied by this percentage to determine the
portion of the allowed loss or deduction attributable to QBI.
2. None of the trades or businesses are an SSTB.
3. The trades or businesses meet at least two of the following
factors.
a. They provide products, property, or services that are the
same or that are customarily offered together.
b. They share facilities or share significant centralized business
elements such as personnel, accounting, legal, manufacturing,
purchasing, human resources, or information technology resources.
c. They are operated in coordination with, or reliance upon, one
or more of the businesses in the aggregated group.
If a relevant pass-through entity (RPE) aggregates multiple trades
or businesses, you must attach the RPE’s aggregations to your
Schedule B (Form 8995-A). You may not separate the trades or
businesses aggregated by the RPE, but you may add additional
trades or businesses to the aggregation, assuming the rules above
are met. If you choose to aggregate multiple trades or businesses,
complete Schedule B (Form 8995-A) before starting Part I of Form
8995-A.
If your trade or business is an SSTB, whether the trade or
business is a qualified trade or business is determined based on
your taxable income in the year the loss or deduction is incurred. If
your taxable income is within the phase-in range in that year, you
must determine and apply the applicable percentage in the year the
loss or deduction was incurred to determine the qualified portion of
the suspended loss or deduction.
Losses and deductions retain their status as either qualified or
non-qualified from year to year while suspended. Therefore, you
must track each category of loss or deduction until the loss or
deduction is no longer suspended. For an example of a reasonable
method to track and compute the amount of previously disallowed
losses or deductions to be included in your QBI deduction
Suspended by Other Provisions, later.
When losses or deductions previously suspended by other Code
provisions are allowed in calculating taxable income, the qualified
portion of the loss or deduction allowed under each provision is
treated as a qualified net loss carryforward from a separate trade or
business when calculating the current year’s QBI deduction.
Any qualified loss or deduction from an SSTB allowed in
calculating taxable income isn’t included on the Schedule A (Form
8995-A) as the applicable percentage was previously determined
and applied in the year the loss or deduction was incurred and
should not be redetermined in the year the loss or deduction is
allowed.
Your aggregations must be reported consistently for all
subsequent years, unless there is a significant change in facts and
circumstances that disqualify the aggregation. Schedule B (Form
8995-A) must be completed each year to show your trade or
business aggregation(s) and must include any aggregation of an
RPE in which you hold a direct or indirect interest. Failure to disclose
such aggregated trades or businesses may cause them to be
disaggregated.
Note. You must combine the QBI, W-2 wages, and UBIA of qualified
property for all aggregated trades or businesses, for purposes of
applying the W-2 wage and UBIA of qualified property limitations.
Determining your QBI. Your QBI includes qualified items of
income, gain, deduction, and loss from your trades or businesses
that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
in the United States. This includes qualified items from partnerships
(other than PTPs), S corporations, sole proprietorships, and certain
estates and trusts that are allowed in calculating your taxable
income for the year.
To figure the total amount of QBI, you must consider all items that
are attributable to the trade or business. This includes, but isn’t
limited to, unreimbursed partnership expenses, business interest
expense, deductible part of self-employment tax, self-employment
health insurance deduction, and contributions to qualified retirement
plans. QBI doesn’t include any of the following.
Items that aren’t properly includible in income.

3
Instructions for Form 8995-A (2023)
Determinations” from a partnership, S corporation, estate, or trust
aren’t automatically includible in your QBI. To determine if the item of
income, gain, deduction, or loss is includible in QBI, you must look to
how it is reported on your federal income tax return. For example,
ordinary business income or loss is generally included in QBI if it
was used in computing your taxable income and not excluded,
suspended, or disallowed under any other Code section. Also, a
section 1231 gain or loss is only includible in QBI if it isn’t capital
income, gain, deduction, or loss is includible in QBI.

Tracking wages method. Under the tracking wages method,
W-2 wages are figured as follows.
1. Add the amounts that are wages for federal income tax
withholding purposes and that are also reported in box 1 of the
relevant Forms W-2.
Determining whether information reported on your Form
1099-PATR is includible in QBI. The amounts reported to you as
your share of patronage dividends and similar payments on Form
1099-PATR aren’t automatically includible in your QBI. Payments
may be included in QBI to the extent they are (1) related to your
trade or business, (2) reported to you by the cooperative as qualified
items of income on an attachment to Form 1099-PATR, and (3) not
payments reported as from an SSTB, unless your taxable income is
below the threshold, in which case payments from SSTBs are
includible in your QBI.
If you received qualified payments reported to you on Form
1099-PATR from a specified agricultural or horticultural cooperative,
you’re required to reduce your QBI by the patron reduction. See
or Horticultural Cooperatives, later.
2. Add together any amounts reported in box 12 of the relevant
Forms W-2 that are properly coded D, E, F, G, or S.
3. Add (1) and (2).
To figure your W-2 wages using one of the three methods above,
generally use the sum of the amounts you properly report for each
employee on Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, for the calendar
year ending with or within your tax year. However, don't use any
amounts reported on a Form W-2 filed with the Social Security
Administration more than 60 days after its due date (including
extensions).
Note. For purposes of determining W-2 wages for limitation
purposes, fiscal year end trades or businesses include qualified
amounts paid to employees for the calendar year ended with or
within the business’s tax year.
Determining whether items included on Schedule C (Form
1040) are includible in QBI. The net gain or loss as reported on
your Schedule C (Form 1040) isn’t automatically includible in your
income, gain, deduction, or loss is includible in QBI.

tracking wages method and do the following.

Determining your W-2 wages for limitation purposes. W-2
wages generally include amounts paid to employees for the
performance of services, plus elective deferrals (for example,
contributions to 401(k) plans, deferred compensation, and Roth IRA
contributions). Amounts paid to statutory employees aren’t W-2
wages when the “Statutory Employee” box on Form W-2, box 13, is
checked.
If you conduct more than one trade or business, the W-2 wages
must be allocated among the various trades or businesses (or
aggregated trades or businesses) to the trade or business that
generated the wage expense. Also, only the W-2 wages properly
allocable to QBI are includible. W-2 wages are properly allocable to
QBI if the associated wage expense is taken into account in
computing QBI.
are properly coded D, E, F, G, or S for any calendar year(s)
containing any day within that short tax year that are actually
deferred or contributed during the short tax year.
However, if you have a short tax year that doesn't include a
calendar year ending within that short tax year, the following wages
are treated as W-2 wages for a short year.
Wages you properly report on Form W-2 that you actually paid
•
during the tax year.
Amounts reported on Forms W-2, box 12, that are properly coded
•
D, E, F, G, or S that are actually deferred or contributed during the
short tax year.
Acquisition or disposition of a trade or business. If you
acquired or disposed of a trade or business that causes you and
another employer to pay W-2 wages to employees of the acquired or
disposed of trade or business during the calendar year, then the W-2
wages for the calendar year of the acquisition or disposition are
allocated between each employer based on the period that the
employees of the acquired or disposed of trade or business were
employed by each employer. If you have a short tax year that doesn’t
include a calendar year ending within your short tax year, see Short
tax year, earlier.
Before allocating W-2 wages among various trades or
businesses (or aggregated trades or businesses) and/or allocating
W-2 wages to QBI, first determine the total amount of W-2 wages.
There are three methods to figure your W-2 wages.

Non-duplication rule. Amounts that are treated as W-2 wages for
a tax year under any method can't be treated as W-2 wages for any
other tax year. Also, an amount can't be treated as W-2 wages by
more than one taxpayer.
W-2 wages are the smaller of:

production of QBI, by the trade or business (or aggregated trades or
businesses) during and at the close of the tax year, for which the
depreciable period hasn’t ended before the close of the tax year.
The depreciable period ends on the later of 10 years after the
property is first placed in service by you or the last day of the last full
year in the applicable recovery period under section 168(c).

Puerto Rico. For purposes of determining QBI, the United States
includes Puerto Rico for taxpayers who have taxable income from
sources within Puerto Rico that are subject to tax under section 1.
Further, W-2 wages are figured by including W-2 wages paid for
services performed in Puerto Rico without regard to section 3401(a)

Form 8995-A, Part III, Part IV, and Schedule A (Form 8995-A) each
ask for your taxable income figured without regard to the QBI
deduction. Enter your taxable income figured before any QBI
deduction, computed as follows.
Generally, property received in a nonrecognition transaction
(section 332, 351, 361, 721, or 731) retains the same UBIA and
placed-in-service date as that of the transferor. However, for the
portion of the transferee’s UBIA that exceeds the transferor’s UBIA,
that portion is treated as separate qualified property placed in
service on the date of the transfer.
Property acquired within 60 days of the year end that’s disposed
of within 120 days without being used by the trade or business for at
least 45 days is generally not qualified property.

Schedule A (Form 8995-A)—Specified Service
Trades or Businesses
Complete Schedule A only if your trade or business is a SSTB and
your taxable income is more than $182,100 but not $232,100
($364,200 and $464,200 if married filing jointly).
Qualified REIT dividends include any dividend you received from
a REIT held for more than 45 days and for which the payment isn’t
obligated to someone else and that isn’t a capital gain dividend
under section 857(b)(3) and isn’t a qualified dividend under section
1(h)(11). Plus, your qualified REIT dividends include those received
from a regulated investment company (RIC).
If your taxable income isn't more than $182,100 ($364,200 if
married filing jointly) and you're not a patron of an agricultural or
horticultural cooperative, don't file Form 8995-A; instead, file Form
8995, Qualified Business Income Deduction Simplified
Computation. Otherwise, complete Schedule D (Form 8995-A)
before beginning Schedule A.
Qualified PTP income/(loss) includes your share of qualified
items of income, gain, deduction, and loss from a PTP that is not
treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. It may also
include gain or loss recognized on the disposition of your PTP
interest that isn’t treated as a capital gain or loss. It doesn’t include
any loss or deduction disallowed in determining your taxable income
for the year. Qualified REIT dividends are reported to you on Form
1099-DIV, Dividends and Distributions, box 5, Section 199A
dividends.
If your taxable income is more than $232,100 ($464,200 if
married filing jointly), your SSTB doesn't qualify for the deduction.
Schedule A (Form 8995-A), Part II, should be used for SSTBs
that are PTPs, and Part I should be used for all other SSTBs.

Sections
Schedule B (Form 8995-A)—Aggregation of
Business Operations
If you qualify and choose to aggregate multiple trades or businesses
into a single trade or business, you must complete Schedule B
before starting Part I.
A net operating loss under section 172 is generally figured without
the QBI deduction, meaning the QBI deduction can’t create or
increase the net operating loss. However, an excess business loss
under section 461(l) is treated as a net operating loss carryforward
to the following tax year and is taken into account for purposes of
computing QBI in the subsequent tax year in which it is deducted.
Line 3(c). Enter your QBI for each separate trade or business.
Line 4. If any of your aggregations have a qualified business loss for
the current year or you have a qualified business net loss
carryforward from prior years, you must complete Schedule C (Form
8995-A) before starting Part I.

Schedule C (Form 8995-A)—Loss Netting and
Carryforward
If any of your trades, businesses, or aggregations have a qualified
business loss for the current year or you have a qualified business
net loss carryforward from prior years, you must complete
Schedule C (Form 8995-A) before starting Form 8995-A, Part I. This
includes prior year loss carryforwards even if the loss was
unreported or the trade or business that generated the loss is no
longer in existence.
Line 4. Enter the portion of W-2 wages from Form 8995-A, line 4,
that are allocable to the qualified payments.
Part I—Trade, Business, and Aggregation
Information
You must complete Part I if you have QBI from a qualified trade,
business, or aggregation. If you don’t have QBI, and only have REIT,
PTP, skip Parts I through III and complete Part IV. Before you begin
completing Part I, determine if you need to complete Schedule A, B,
or C by answering the following questions.
Schedule C (Form 8995-A) offsets your trade or business that
generated a qualified business loss against the QBI from your other
trades or businesses. The qualified business loss must be
apportioned among all your trades or businesses with QBI in
proportion to their QBI.
Note. The line items for this schedule are computed out of order:
first figure line 1, column (a); then skip to lines 2 through 5; and
come back to line 1, columns (b) and (c).
2. Are you choosing to aggregate multiple trades or businesses
into a single trade or business? If yes, complete Schedule B (Form
8995-A) before starting Part I.
3. Did any of your trades, businesses, or aggregations have QBI
for the year or do you have a qualified business loss carryforward
from prior years? If yes, complete Schedule C (Form 8995-A) before
starting Part I.
Line 1, column (a). If you aggregated multiple trades or
businesses into a single business on Schedule B (Form 8995-A),
enter the aggregation group name, Aggregation 1, 2, 3, etc., instead
of entering the business name along with the aggregated trade’s or
business’s QBI.
Line 1. If you aggregated multiple trades or businesses into a single
business on Schedule B (Form 8995-A), enter the aggregation group
name, for example, Aggregation 1, 2, 3, etc., instead of entering the
business name, check the box under 1(c), and leave line 1(d) blank.
Enter on line 1(d) the employer identification number (EIN). If you
don’t have an EIN, enter your social security number (SSN) or
individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). If you’re the sole
owner of a limited liability company (LLC) that isn’t treated as a
separate entity for federal income tax purposes, enter the EIN given
to the LLC. If you don’t have such an EIN, enter the owner's name,
and tax identification number.

Line 1, column (c). Enter this amount on the corresponding line on
Form 8995-A, Part II.
You must complete Part II if you have QBI from a qualified trade,
business, or aggregation.
Note. If the adjusted QBI from the trade or business is zero or less
after the reduction for loss netting, then the amount reported for W-2
wages and UBIA of qualified property must be zero for that trade or
business, as the W-2 wages and UBIA of qualified property from that
trade or business aren’t allowed in computing your QBI limitations.

Note. If you have an overall qualified business net loss carryforward
for the year, you don’t qualify for a QBI deduction in the current year
unless you have qualified REIT dividends or qualified PTP income.
Note. If the QBI on line 2, for the trade, business, or aggregation, is
zero, then the amount reported on line 7, for that trade or business,
must also be zero.

prior year suspended losses allowed must first be allocated to any
losses suspended from 2017 and earlier, until the pre-2018 losses
(row 1) are exhausted. All prior year suspended losses allowed
allocated to pre-2018 years are Non-QBI. Once all pre-2018 losses
have been used, losses will be allocated based on the QBI Fixed
Percentage in column B for each subsequent year in which losses
were suspended.
Tracking Losses or Deductions
Suspended by Other Provisions
A worksheet, QBI Loss Tracking Worksheet (below), is
provided that can help you track your suspended losses.
!
CAUTION
Losses and deductions that would be properly includible in
QBI, if such loss or deduction wasn't suspended (excluded from
taxable income) by other provisions, must be tracked separately for
purposes of determining the future amount includible as negative
QBI. Use as many copies of the worksheet as necessary to
separately track your suspended loss(es) under each suspending
provision.
Prior Year Suspended Losses Allowed in 2018
Note. If column C, row 2, is zero, skip Step 1 through Step 3.
Step 1. Allocate prior year suspended losses allowed from column
C, row 2, up to the total suspended losses reported in column A, row
1, to column F, row 2.
Specific Instructions
Step 2. If there are any prior year suspended losses allowed
remaining from column C, row 2, after Step 1, allocate the remaining
prior year suspended losses allowed between QBI and Non-QBI.
1. For the allocation to QBI, multiply the remaining losses (after
Step 1), up to the total suspended losses reported in column A, row
2, by column B, row 2, and enter this amount in column J, row 2.
2. For the allocation to Non-QBI, multiply the remaining losses
(after Step 1), up to the total suspended losses reported in column
A, row 2, by 100% less the amount in column B, row 2, and add it to
any amount already included in column F, row 2.
Note. All losses should be entered as a negative number on the
worksheet.
Column A. Total suspended losses in year of disallowance.
For rows 1 through 7, enter your suspended losses by year starting
with any pre-2018 losses. Additional rows can be added as needed
in future years. Allocate these losses between Non-QBI and QBI in
columns E and I. See below.
Note. All pre-2018 losses are allocable to Non-QBI.
Step 3. See the instructions for columns G, K, H, and L for rows 1
Column E. Non-QBI suspended losses. For rows 1 through 7,
enter suspended losses allocable to Non-QBI into the appropriate
year row (row 1, pre-2018; row 2, 2018; row 3, 2019, etc.).
and 2.
Prior Year Suspended Losses Allowed in 2019
Column I. QBI suspended losses. For rows 2 through 7, enter
suspended losses allocable to QBI into the appropriate year row
(row 2, 2018; row 3, 2019, etc.).
Note. If column C, row 3, is zero, skip Step 4 through Step 6.
Step 4. Allocate prior year suspended losses allowed from column
C, row 3, up to the remaining suspended losses reported in column
H, row 1, to column F, row 3.
Column B. QBI fixed percentage. Divide column I by column A for
each year and enter the percentage in the corresponding year row.
Column C. Prior year suspended losses allowed. For rows 2
through 7, enter any prior year suspended losses allowed in the
corresponding row for the year allowed.
Step 5. If there are any prior year suspended losses allowed
remaining from column C, row 3, after Step 4, allocate the remaining
prior year suspended losses allowed between QBI and Non-QBI
using the FIFO method until each year's loss has been reduced to
zero.
1. For the allocation to QBI, multiply the remaining losses (after
Step 4), up to the sum of the remaining suspended losses reported
in column H, row 2, and column L, row 2, by column B, row 2, and
enter this amount in column J, row 3.
Note. The total prior year suspended losses allowed entered in
column C, row 8, can't exceed the total amount entered in column A,
row 8.
Column F. Non-QBI allocated prior year suspended losses al-
lowed; and column J, QBI allocated prior year suspended los-
ses allowed. When allocating prior year suspended losses allowed
(column C) between Non-QBI (column F) and QBI (column J), the
First-In-First-Out (FIFO) method must be used. To apply this rule,
2. For the allocation to Non-QBI, multiply the remaining losses
(after Step 4), up to the sum of the remaining suspended losses

Instructions for Form 8995-A (2023)
reported in column H, row 2, and column L, row 2, by 100% less the
amount in column B, row 2, and add it to any amount already
included in column F, row 3.
3. If any prior year suspended losses allowed remain from
column C, row 3, after Steps 5(a) and (b), multiply the remaining
losses (after Steps 5(a) and (b)), up to the sum of the remaining
suspended losses reported in column H, row 3, and column L, row 3,
by column B, row 3, and add it to any amount already included in
column J, row 3.
4. Then, multiply the remaining losses (after Steps 5(a) and
(b)), up to the sum of the remaining suspended losses reported in
column H, row 3, and column L, row 3, by 100% less the amount in
column B, row 3, and add it to any amount already included in
column F, row 3.
Column D. Allowed losses limited by other Code sections.
When a prior year suspended loss allowed under one Code section
is subsequently limited by another Code section, this loss shouldn't
be included in the QBI calculation until the loss is allowed in the
computation of taxable income. Instead, that loss is added to the
total suspended losses in the year of disallowance under the new
limiting Code section for continuation of its suspension. This column
along with row 9, addresses how to account for such losses.
In column D, enter the amount of any prior year suspended
losses allowed under this Code section, but subsequently
disallowed under another Code section on the row for the year the
loss was allowed under this Code section. These amounts will be
allocated between Non-QBI and QBI in columns G and K for the
corresponding year. See Row 9 below.
Row 9. Allocation of allowed losses limited by other Code sec-
tions. To allocate the allowed losses limited by other Code sections
between QBI and Non-QBI, start with QBI for the 2018 row. Divide
column K(i), row 8, by the sum of column K(i), row 8, and column
G(i), row 8, multiplied by column D, row 2, and enter this amount in
column K(i), row 9. Written as a formula: column K(i), row 9 = column
D, row 2 x (column K(i), row 8 ÷ (column K(i), row 8 + column G(i),
row 8)).
Next, compute the amount for Non-QBI for the 2018 row. Divide
column G(i), row 8, by the sum of column G(i), row 8, and column
K(i), row 8, multiplied by column D, row 2, and enter this amount in
column G(i), row 9. Written as a formula: column K(i), row 9 =
column D, row 2 x (column G(i), row 8 ÷ (column G(i), row 8 +
column K(i), row 8)).
Step 6. See the instructions for columns G, K, H, and L for rows 1
through 3.
Prior Year Suspended Losses Allowed in 2020 and
Beyond
Repeat Step 4 through Step 6 and adjust as necessary for any prior
year suspended losses allowed in column C, row 4, and each row
thereafter, as applicable.
Additional year rows and columns may be added as needed in
future years.
Columns G and K. Utilized “20XX.” Use these columns to show
how the allocated prior year suspended losses allowed in columns F
and J are utilized each year. For example, the loss reported in
column F, row 2, must tie to the amount reported in column G(i), row
8; and the loss reported in column F, row 3, must tie to the amount
reported in column G(ii), row 8, etc.
Continue the computation for columns K(ii) and G(ii) through
K(vi) and G(vi), multiply the percentage times the amount in column
D, row 5, for 2021, column D, row 6, for 2022, and column D, row 7,
for 2023, respectively.
Row 10. Total prior year suspended losses allowed that must
be included in QBI. The amounts reported in columns K(i) through
K(vi) for row 10, equal the loss amount that must be included in your
current year QBI, respectively, for each year, as a loss from a
separate trade or business.
Column H. Remaining suspended losses. For each row, take the
amount in column E less the amounts utilized in all columns G(i)
through G(vi). This amount can't be more than zero.
Column L. Remaining suspended losses. For each row, take the
amount in column I less the amounts utilized in all columns K(i)
through K(vi). This amount can't be more than zero.
