I am being asked to correct an entry for "previously disallowed QBI losses to be reported as separate business".... I don't know that that means or how to correct it.

I am having the same issue.  I cannot enter anything to satisfy the error, can't proceed with e-file.  The field does not apply to my return.  This is almost certainly a TurboTax technical error.

First, please check for updates to your TurboTax that resolve your issue related to "previously disallowed QBI losses".  TurboTax updates since 3/10/2020 may have resolved your issue.  If you are using TurboTax Download/CD, use the menu at the top to update your TurboTax software (Online>>Check for Updates).

 

Also, please note that the "separate K-1" portion of the message may relate to a circumstance that requires you to use a separate K-1.  For example, if you check the "active participation" box for box 2, rental real estate, the program assumes that all carryover amounts are active. If you have prior year losses to carry over to the current year that are NOT active, enter the carryover amounts on a separate Schedule K-1 worksheet.  Also, there should not be entries on any two boxes of K-1 boxes 1 through 3, and separate K-1's must be completed for rental activities reported on lines 2 or 3 where at least one of the rental activities is self-rented or land and there are also additional rental activities that are NOT self-rented or land.

Please see this IRS article on QBI. The different types of incomes are at the top and you can choose the link that suits your income.  Locate last year's return and see if you had any disallowed QBI hidden in the worksheets. For example: You may have had a K-1 and a rental property, that effectively cancelled each other out for QBI.

I was able to update Premier today, with an update from 3/12/20.  The error is gone!  Filed without issue.

 

Thanks TurboTax for the fix.
