When Section 199A information is reported on a K-1, TurboTax requires an entry in one of the income boxes eligible for QBI treatment, on the "We need some information about your 199A income" screen.
For your passthrough K-1s, in addition to the "W-2 wages" and "....QBIA of qualified property" lines, check the box for either "ordinary income or loss" or "....rental income (loss)" and enter a zero in the box that "opens up". That should "clear" the error message you are getting.
The choice of "ordinary income" or "rental income" depends on which "line of business" that passthrough entity is in. The situations when that choice could possibly make a difference for a "zero" entry are when your taxable income is over $160,700 for Single status, or over $321,400 for Married Filing Joint status, and you aggregate businesses for the QBI deduction. If that applies to your situation, it may be worthwhile to ask about the passthrough entities if you don't know.
