Federal Carryover Worksheet QBI deduction (section 199A) carryover Applicable percentage

TT is asking me to fill out line 31 in Federal Carryover Worksheet with a percentage for QBI Deduction (Section 199A) carryovers for the prior tax year (2021). It lists percentages 2018-2020 (0.0, 0.02, 0.08). I have never filled it out previously. It seemed to autopopulate when I used TT the past years. This year it did not autopopulate. What is it referring to?

Figured it out. It was form 8995A. And there are limits to QBI deductions.

So did you have to manually calculate the percentage? I am having the same issue. Program auto-calculated in previous years, but is showing me an error this year because I don't have a percentage for 2021.  How did you resolve????

Agreed.  Having same issue.  Didn't autopopulate for 2024 tax year; did beforehand.  Substantial loss carryforward, not sure if this line 31 percentage figure affects that carryforward.  TT can be pretty useless for some of this more arcane stuff.  My accountant says it should autopopulate as well.

What did you use on 8995A to figure the percentage of loss carryforward?
