It depends. Did you review all of the forms and worksheets that TurboTax prepared from your entries, such as Form 8995 / Form 8995-A? Did you transfer your 2023 information to your 2024 return?

 

If you have a K-1 carryover loss and don't have 2023 information in your 2024 return, you can manually enter the QBI carryover. See this help article for steps. 

 

From this IRS FAQ page:

 

A taxpayer must net their QBI, including losses, from multiple trades or businesses (including aggregated trades or businesses). So, qualified business losses from one business will offset QBI from other trades or businesses (including aggregated trades or businesses) in proportion to the net income of the trades or businesses with QBI.

If the total QBI from all trades or businesses is less than zero, the taxpayer's QBI Component will be zero and any negative amount is carried forward to the next taxable year. 

 

The carried forward negative QBI will be treated as negative QBI from a separate trade or business for purpose of determining the QBI Component in the next taxable year. 

 

Any negative QBI carried into the subsequent tax year as a qualified business net loss carryforward will be used in that subsequent year to determine the net qualified business income or loss in that year. If the net loss carryforward from the originating year is not fully absorbed in the subsequent year, the new net loss amount will become a qualified business net loss carryforward to be applied in the subsequent year.
