It depends. There is no code to enter for Schedule B on the federal return.
If you are referring to a question about your state return, there may be a code for New York state if there are zeros entered that do not need to be included.
Option 1: Follow these steps from TurboTax Employee Tax Expert DMarkM1 who wrote in the community:
Referring to NY Form IT-225. Part 2 deals with modifications to Partners, Shareholders, Beneficiaries. These modification codes are provided by the entity that sent you the income document (a K-1 for example).
1. In the New York interview, continue the NY return and get to the page titled "changes to federal income."
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the "other New York adjustments to federal income." (Delete any zeros entered in boxes that should be blank in all tabs.)
3. Update the "Partner, shareholder, beneficiary adjustments"
The next page is "additions" and the one after that will be "subtractions." You will probably find that there are numbers in one or more of the boxes there. Hopefully they will look familiar and you will know what document they come from.
You will need to find the source document and get the correct modification code to enter for each. If you need to see what the available codes look like, click on the applicable hyperlink "additions" or "subtractions" on the TurboTax pages.
