Thank you for your reply and the link to the information.
Unfortunately, it doesn't say whether Section 179 deductions passed through from a K-1 can be applied to (i.e., subtracted from) earned income as calculated on 1040 Schedule SE. TurboTax adds Box 12 and Box 14 from the K-1 to Schedule SE, even though the IRS instructions for Schedule SE specifically list Box 14 (which on the K-1 is used to report earned income), but not Box 12 (where Section 179 deductions are reported).
Thus, what TurboTax is doing on Schedule SE with respect to pass-through items from K-1s seems contrary to the IRS instructions.
I remain concerned.
Thanks,
Helmut
