Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Schedule K-1 Box 20 Code Z is used for Section 199A QBI entries. When entering your K-1, check that it has Box 20 and choose Code Z. You don't need to enter any amount for Code Z. 

1. Continue with the interview until you see "We see you have Section 199A information."
2. Check the box that applies (usually the first option).
3. On the page "We need some information about your 199A income," be sure to check the first box and enter at least one type of income.
4. Check any other boxes that appear on Statement A (like UBIA) and enter the related amount.
5. Continue back to the K-1 summary page.

Schedule K-1 Box 20 Code AJ (any number of lines) is relevant only if your net losses from all businesses are more than $305,000 ($610,000 if filing a joint return). If this doesn't apply to you, leave Box 20 Code AJ blank (or do not include this code).

If the excess business loss does apply to you, this information will allow you to figure any excess business loss limitation that may apply. See IRS Instructions for Form 461 - Limitations on Business Losses. TurboTax does not include Form 461, which must be attached to your tax return (print and mail).

If you wish to record the amounts on your return for completeness, you will need to use TurboTax for Desktop and: 

1. Enter the total of all lines Code AJ in the amount for this code.
2. Go to Forms Mode, open K-1 Partner for this investment, and click the QuickZoom under Line 20 for "codes E, T, AS, and ZZ." 
3. Enter all lines for Code AJ under Code ZZ in the yellow lines/boxes. The total here must match the amount previously entered for Code AJ. This information does not affect your tax return.
