I believe there was a TT error in 2019 regarding QBI when entering K-1 info. It asked if you had an AMOUNT in Box 17. Since there was no amount in Box 17 on my K-1, I did not check the corresponding box. As a result, no 199A was generated and no QBI deduction was given. However, In 2020 TT, if you do not check the Box 17 box (because there was no amount), on a following screen as a double check, you are asked if there was a 'V' code in Box 17. If you answered 'yes' to this question, 199A was generated and you got the QBI.
