Error Check Message Section 199A Inputs

I am using TurboTax Premier for my personal taxes.  I have finished all the entries and am getting an Error Check message that states the following:

 I have entered all the K-1 Line 17 code V items on the table for Section 199A QBI.  I had no issues last year.  This year I have a Section 179 depreciation item that makes the overall income a net loss.  Does this message mean that an upcoming TurboTax update will complete this item or is this something different?

Yes, TurboTax anticipates that an update will be available on 2/20/2020.

I'm not sure if this is the right spot to ask but I also received the 179 message.  

 

But before I even get there I get stopped with a screen stating "Let's check for some uncommon adjustments"

 

I am very new at this but here is my best guess on info that could help solve this:

 

  • I don't know how to calculate self employment earnings to verify the number being correct?
  • Next to Box 20 on k-1 it was marked STMT.  It lead to me adding $2632 in deductions that I got from a supporting document to my 1065.  I am wondering if I need to add this amount again to the line on this screen "other qualified business expenses not on 199a?"
  • And last, since I took mileage and some office supply deductions, would I need to put that number on the last statement "this business has deductions not included in this activity but not deducted somewhere else?

I hope this leads to an answer cause I'm about to torch this laptop lol!!!

I have the same issue and I too am ready to throw my computer through the window. 

 

What's up with this?  Can't click on "None of these apply"

 

Is this also being corrected?

Is this update still supposed to be coming today?

I got an update earlier today but it didn't resolve my problem.  Same Error Message on Error Check.

Yes - Received an update today.  Thought I would wait until tomorrow to see if it updates again.  Hope that resolves it.

If understand your issue correctly, a Sec 179 cannot generate a loss. It would be limited and the carryover claimed in the following year.

If you are experiencing the same error message reported by the other Community users in this "thread", note that some customers are reporting that unchecking the "None of these apply" box on the last line of the "Let's check for some uncommon adjustments" screen, and just leaving nothing on that page checked (assuming you have none) will resolve this error.  

 

If you are not experiencing that error, or if "unchecking the box" doesn't clear the error, please provide additional information to help diagnose your problem.  For example, what is your error message, what is the source of your QBI (Schedule K-1, Schedule E,  Schedule C, or 1099-DIV), and what QBI information has been reported on or with that QBI income?

I too had phantom entries on lines 18, 19 and 20 from my k-1 generated with TurboTax Business and imported into Turbotax Premier to do my 1040 personal taxes.  After I went to the forms view and selected "no entry" for these and deleted the zero in the amount, then saving the return, it corrected and finally allowed me to e-file my return! Many hours of frustration ended and thanks to those who helped in the Q & A sessions.

Did the IRS reject the submission when TT was submitting the return?

 

I am surprised that this issue is not resolved a year later. I will post my experience as I am about to file

So far no issue this year like last. I did notice that updates this year tend to start people back at the beginning.

 

Overall, my biggest concern is that some values are collected but not shown on any form/or summary page. The values do seem to affect other values and when one tries to figure out what is happening is quite difficult.
