My suggestion would be to use the numbers that are outlined by Form 461, Part I, for the calculation of the business loss excess. That Part does not ask for code AJ numbers, but rather information that is reported on your Schedule 1. 

 

Start with Schedule 1, and see what you have on lines 4 and 5 (the most common lines related to Schedule K-1 activity, but other lines may apply if you have a Schedule C, for example). The information from these lines will need to be entered in Part I of Form 461. You will then use Parts II and III to calculate the limitation. 

If you have a negative number on line 16 of Form 461, that will indicate your limitation, and that's what needs to be entered as a positive number on Schedule 1, line 8p.
