Error highlight of Box 20, code Z

I've entered Box 20, Code Z, entered the net rental income as indicated on my Section 199A information, and I am still get sent back to the Box with Code Z in it, highlighted red. I've tried entering the total of all numbers on my 199A form, entering 0, and no entry, but still sent back. I am not being allowed to electronically file until this is dealt with. Help! The question i  similar to SidSkot on another post.

in forms mode you also wouldn't enter anything on line 20 code Z. rather below that is a line 20z that says it;'s for the 199A info, click the quickzoom link to enter the 199A info

 

in step mode

don't enter anything in box 20 coded z for QBI

continue on in Turbotax

you see a question Does your K-1 have a code Z in box 20

answer yes

answer the questions on the next page to the extent they apply then continue

now you should be on a page that says we need some information about your 199A income

check the line that says it has a business income or loss this is for the QBI income/loss. you see more lines open up so you can enter the loss on the rental income line

check other lines and enter amounts as applicable.

with a rental activity you'll probably have a number for the UBIA line 

 

No more error 

see how Turbotax can confuse users. that 20Z for line 20 shouldn't be there (I think(
