Have to enter 2 K-1's for royalties and rental real estate income but only royalities K-1 calculates the QBI deduction. Why? K-1 from LLC has both on 1 K-1

Since LLP is one pass-thru business why doesn't QBI deduction apply to both K-1's in TT? TT does the deduction for the royalties but not for the rental income. Have to do 2 K-1's in TT to enter both incomes

In order for the Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBI) to be calculated, the K-1 Form must contain certain codes pertaining to "qualified business income".

The "qualified" income for the QBI deduction is reported on your K-1 in Box 20 code "Z to AD" for Section 199A income if it is related to a Form 1065 (Partnership).

If related to a Form 1120-S (S-Corp), it will be reported in Box 17 code "V,W,X,Y and/or Z".

After you have entered all of the information from your K-1, you will need to answer a couple of questions regarding the nature of the income and your expected income. If you meet the qualifications, the QBI deduction calculates after that.
