You should be able to enter a number other than zero.
In TurboTax Desktop Home & Business, I am able to enter a QBI loss carryforward. I can enter a positive or negative number, and passes Review.
Has your software version been updated?
I followed these steps:
- Click on Business / Click Continue / Click I'll choose what I want to work on.
- Scroll down to Net operating loss/QBI carryforward loss / Click Update.
In Forms view I am able to view the entry on IRS Form 8995 Qualified Business Income Deduction.
