For purposes of this election, in general, a small taxpayer is defined as an individual whose average annual gross receipts for the three preceding tax years is less than or equal to $10 million. Under the safe harbor, the taxpayer may deduct (rather than capitalize) certain amounts paid for improvements made to the eligible building property. The election will automatically print and include it in the contents of the e-file, when filing electronically. The election is applied on a year-by-year basis, and once made, the election is irrevocable.

Enter
1
 to indicate that this activity is a trade or business eligible for the qualified business income deduction. This activity is included on the appropriate Form 8995 or 8995-A.
Enter X if this activity meets the section 199A safe harbor requirements.
Enter the safe harbor group number to indicate this activity is part of a safe harbor enterprise. This will be reflected on the safe harbor required statement.
To calculate the Qualified Business Income Deduction, UltraTax CS uses the Schedule E, Page 1, rental income or loss amount, then includes various additions and deductions. To view the calculated amount, see the Qualified Business Income Calculation Worksheet for Schedule E. To use an amount other than the default, enter an amount in this field. Enter zero (0) if the activity does not have any qualified income.
Enter the amount of the unadjusted basis of qualified property used in this trade or business. When you use the asset module , the amount calculates and transfers to this field. This amount is only used on Form 8995-A, Qualified Business Income Deduction and not Form 8995, Qualified Business Income Deduction Simplified Calculation.
To include this trade or business in a grouping for the qualified business deduction under the rules of Regulation Section 1.199A-4, enter a group number. Use the same code for all the trade or businesses in the same group. UltraTax CS combines all group members into one calculation. Form 8995-A, Qualified Business Income Deduction, Schedule B – Aggregation of Business Operations is produced only when the Form 8995, Qualified Business Income Deduction Simplified Worksheet is not used.

Passive Activity and Other Information

Enter the appropriate activity type code.
Entities with codes
1
 and
2
 are treated as passive. Entities with codes
3
 or
4
 are treated as non-passive.
If entities with passive codes of
3
 or
4
 have passive carryovers, they are considered to be former passive activities. Income and losses from former passive activities are reported as follows.
  • If the current-year net income is less than the prior-year suspended losses, both prior-year suspended losses and current-year net income report on Form 8582.
  • If the current-year net income is equal to or greater than the prior-year suspended losses, neither amount reports on Form 8582.
  • If there is a current-year net loss, only the prior-year suspended losses are reported on Form 8582.
The passive portion of entities with a passive code of
3
 are treated as other passives. Those with a code of
4
 are treated as rental real estate.
To include this activity in a passive grouping, enter the aggregation group number here. Units with the same aggregation number report as one item in the statement worksheets for Form 8582. All of the entities in an aggregation must have the same passive code.
Enter a unique group number to include this activity in a Regulation 1.469-4(d)(1) grouping of a rental activity within a trade or business activity. When grouping activities under Reg. 1.469-4(d)(1), do not use a number that has been used in the Aggregation group field.
The entire group is nonpassive for reporting purposes. Each member of the activity must use passive activity code 3, that is nonpassive. Since the group is nonpassive, the group income does not report on Form 8582 and is not considered net investment income for Form 8960 purposes. The income or loss reports on the appropriate forms and schedules used regularly.
Enter the appropriate code applicable to this member of a passive activity aggregation group or Reg. 1.469-4(d)(1) group.
The statement required by Rev. Proc. 2010-13 is produced using this code and the Aggregation group. The taxpayer must file written disclosure statements with the tax return for the year in which two or more activities are grouped together for the first time (essentially serving as the election to group those activities), or for a year in which changes are made to existing groupings, including when a new activity is added to an existing group.
Mark this field to include the income or loss from this activity in the section 179 business income on Form 4562. The calculation of business income for section 179 purposes does not include income from passive activities. The passive activity code must be
