For Schedule K-1 box 20 code AJ what amount do I enter?

For that Section I have statement coded AJ with 3 amounts: 

Code AJ is listed as excess business loss limitation on Turbo 

 

My K-1 form shows the following: 

Code AJ: Aggregate Business Activity Gain(Loss) on Dispo. of Property $26,671

Code AJ: Aggregate Business Gross Income $8,508

Code AJ: Aggregate Business Activity Total Deduction $3833

 

I initially planned on entering the all, but separately on Box 20 code AJ (even though it doesn't state the exact wording by the code AJ), but wasn't certain that was the right approach. 

 

This is the first year I have seen Code AJ. Thanks in advanced! Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Turbotax does not have the capacity to use the AJ info That's what the * means in TT). It shouldn't matter in this situation. Since your income exceeds deductions you have no excess business loss. The other issue is that Turbotx does not handle form 461 where any business loss limitation would be calculated.

Thank you so much for the info. So, for that amount question TT designated should I just leave it blank?

Yes, in most cases you can skip entering anything for Box 20 Code AJ.

I entered all 0's for the K-1 line 20 AJ and it still will not file the return. It keeps asking me for a facility registration code for Form 3468 which does not apply to me. Will TT have an update soon? I am getting frustrated with TT this year after using it for the past 10 years. I am thinking of going to another software soon.

The best option is to not enter Code AJ for Schedule K-1 Box 20; zeroes won't resolve the error. However, the need for a registration number on Form 3468 is a known IRS issue. If you enter ""TMXXX99XXXXX" on Line 2a, this will allow you to e-file.
