Carryover Section 179 errors
For 2019, I have no Section 179 on my K-1s, but amounts were carried over from 2018. As I entered data with EasyStep, a window popped up telling me that the amount of Section 179 I can deduct has been limited and asked me to reallocate. I tried several reallocations (I have 2 K-1s) and none seemed to work. I left that window, and now can't find it again in EasyStep. HOW CAN I FIND THIS WINDOW AGAIN? When I got to the Federal Review, I was told I had an error. So I went back into the K-1 forms and deleted the carryover amount. Then, in the Review, I got a message saying my total Section 179 carryover doesn't match the carryovers shown on each individual activity. So I went back and entered the carryover amounts again and got another error message, saying the total amount of Section 179 I may deduct has been limited (but it doesn't say limited to what amount!) I am again asked to reallocate. If I found the reallocation window I'd go back to trial and error attempts to reallocate, but meanwhile I am stymied. How can I find out what my limitation is and how to reallocate?
