Answer :- LINE 11 (As required in question)
Business income limitation. Enter the smaller of business income (not less than zero) or line 5 (see instructions)
It is $1,020,000 because as instructions (Line 5 : Dollar limitation for tax year. Subtract line 4 from line 1. If zero or less, enter -0-. )
and Line 5 : Dollar limitation for tax year would be $1,020,000 because subtract line 4 from line 1.
Line 1 is $1,020,000 and Line 4 : (Reduction in limitation. Subtract line 3 from line 2. If zero or less, enter -0) is $0
then subtracting Line 4 from Line 1 = $1,020,000
{ For Clarification
Line 1 - Maximum amount (see instructions) = $1,020,000
Line 4 : Reduction in limitation. Subtract line 3 from line 2. If zero or less, enter -0 = $0
Line 5 : Dollar limitation for tax year would be $1,020,000 because subtract line 4 from line 1. = $1,020,000
Line 11 :Business income limitation. Enter the smaller of business income (not less than zero) or line 5 (see instructions) = $1,020,000 }
