 For each partner in Little LLC:   Enter Box 1 from Big LLC → as Ordinary business income. Enter Box 4a/4b from Big LLC → as Guaranteed payments received. You must keep them separate. They are not combined, and they are not interchangeable. Now let's examine why it may appear wrong.    Inside Little LLC’s own 1065:   The ordinary income from Big LLC (e.g., $50,000) flows into Little LLC’s income. The guaranteed payments from Big LLC (e.g., $100,000) also flow into Little LLC’s income. Little LLC does NOT deduct guaranteed payments it receives—only the paying partnership deducts them. So Little LLC’s total income is $150,000, not a $50,000 loss. If your software is showing a loss, it usually means: You accidentally entered the guaranteed payments as guaranteed payments paid by Little LLC (Line 10 deduction), instead of guaranteed payments received. Or you entered ‌guaranteed payments in the wrong section of the K‑1 input.

A few possibilities: noncovered securities - older stocks may need a basis or a holding period.

Yes it kept showing needs to be reviewed but one TurboTax expert finally told me that if that was my only error then to skip the final review and and go right to efile after going through the 1099-R and follow-up questions again. I noticed the difference now. TurboTax put entries in the disaster table of Part 1 and it should have been blank.  After redoing the 1099 section again, it was cleared and was finally accepted even though it showed it still needs to be reviewed.
