You may not need to delete it. Do you have a 1099-DIV with amounts in Box 5? That income is qualified business income (QBI).
Generally, you may be allowed a deduction of up to 20% of your apportioned net qualified business income (QBI) plus 20% of your apportioned qualified REIT dividends, also known as section 199A dividends, and qualified publicly traded partnership (PTP) income from the trust or estate.
For the purposes of the deduction, QBI is defined asnet business income, excluding:
Income generated outside the United States
Investment income
W-2 compensation paid to an S corporation owner
Guaranteed payments to a partner
Income from REITs, publicly traded partnerships, and qualified cooperatives (these entities may qualify for a 20% deduction under a different set of rules, the explanation of which is beyond the scope of this article)
