Re: K-1 box 20 z

Revisit your partnership interview.

For Box 20 Item Z: the 2019 IRS Instructions for Form 1065 Partnerships states: 

  • page 1: "Box 20—Codes Z through AD that were previously used to report section 199A information have been changed. Only code Z will be used to report section 199A information."
  • page 47: "Partnerships should use Statement A—QBI Pass-Through Entity Reporting, or a substantially similar statement, to report information for each partner’s distributive share from each trade or business, including QBI items, W-2 wages, UBIA of qualified property, qualified PTP items, and section 199A dividends by attaching the completed statement(s) to each partner’s Schedule K-1. The partnership should also use Statement A to report each partner’s distributive share of QBI items, W-2 wages, UBIA of qualified property, qualified PTP items, and section 199A dividends reported to the partnership by another entity.

Please see screenshots below. You will be asked a series of questions that you can answer based on the Schedule K-1 you received. There should be a statement attached that will provide you with the information you need to answer the questions.
