I use Drake tax software.

Last year (2018 tax return), the program printed a "Rental Real Estate Safe Harbor" statement for the taxpayer to sign in order to certify that they fulfilled all the requirements of Sec 199A QBI deduction.

But I do not see such a statement provided in the 2019 tax program.

I am just wondering if such signed statement is no longer needed in the 2019 tax return?

Rev. Proc. 2019-38 says that the determination to use the safe harbor must be made annually, so if the statement isn't in Drake's software, then you might want to call Drake to find out why not.

I don't believe Rev. Proc. 2019-38 requires a signed statement. However, Ultratax still generates a Safe Harbor statement with no signature needed for 2019. Last year Ultratax was the same way - printed out safe harbor and signed attachment to e-file.
