Answer 1

All of the following statements are true with regard to qualifying business losses EXCEPT: Qualifying losses from 2017 were carried forward to the taxpayer's 2018 tax return.

Explanation:

The loss would reduce any other eligible income of the applicant for the current year. An investor shall recover the QBI from various trades or businesses, including damages.

Upon deduction of all qualified company gains for the current year, the excess of the income shall be rolled forward to the next tax year. The unfavorable balance shall be shifted into the next fiscal year.

If the loss was incurred after 2018, the excluded or lost element is included in QBI and would otherwise be included in QBI, but is included in taxable income not until the year.
