Form 8995‑A Schedule B – Fillable PDF

Schedule B is the attachment to IRS Form 8995‑A that lets you report the aggregation of multiple trades or businesses for the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction. It captures the name, taxpayer identification number, description, qualified wages, unadjusted basis, and the income or loss for each aggregated operation.

What is Schedule B on Form 8995‑A?

Schedule B is used when a taxpayer chooses to treat several separate trades or businesses as a single aggregated trade for QBI reporting. This simplifies the calculation and ensures the deduction is applied correctly across all qualifying activities.

When Do You Need Schedule B?

• You have more than one qualified trade or business.
• You elect to aggregate those trades into one for QBI purposes.
• Your taxable income is above the threshold where the simplified Form 8995 is not allowed.
