Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You don't add up the amount to enter with the code Z on the box 20 screen. Just leave the amount blank on that box 20 screen, it doesn't get used in the calculation. The "We need more information about your 199A income" is where the entries matter. When you check a box on a line you need, boxes will open up for you to enter your amounts from that 199A statement.
You'll need a separate K-1 for the "main" partnership and each passthrough entity on that Section 199A statement. And, any of those separate entities have box 1 and box 2 amounts, you have to split that as well.
During the first part of the K-1 entry, all the separate K-1s use the name, address, and EIN of the "main" partnership shown in Part I and Part II of the K-1 you actually received. For Part II, I recommend that the information through Line I (India) be entered, and the appropriate at-risk answer under Line K. Don't put the partner percentages or the partner capital account amounts on the additional K-1s.
The boxes 1-20 on the K-1 you received are the combined totals of the main entity and the passthrough entities. You must figure out how much of each box 1-20 is for the main entity versus each passthrough entity, and that is the "split" you use to enter the box 1-20 on the separate K-1s. The total each numbered box for your separate K-1 forms must equal the total for that box on the K-1 you actually received. For example, all box 1 amounts on the separate K-1s should add up to the box 1 amount for the actual K-1 you received. If you can't figure (deduce) that "split" from the information you have, you will need to contact the preparer of the K-1 to get those amounts. Note that the box 20 code Z information is already split for you.
Note that when you enter each K-1, you'll encounter the question "Is the business that generated the Section 199-A income a separate business owned by the partnership?" screen, TurboTax is asking if the Section 199-A income was passed through to the partnership sending you the K-1 by another partnership, S-Corp, or trust; versus being generated by the business operations of the partnership that sent you the K-1. So, on one of the K-1s you enter you will answer that it is from the "main" partnership, and on the other you will enter that it is from the pass-through entity. TurboTax will ask for the name and EIN of each pass-through entity.
