Form 8990 how do I know if I need to attach this form that TurboTax does not support?

I was entering information from the K-1 that the Partnership I invested in sent me. I am a limitrd Domestic partner.

In box 13 I have Code K $2 Excess business income.

I have no clue what do to Form 8990 which is Limitation on Business Interest expense Under section 163(j).

This is the first year I have a PTP.  Do I really need to attach Form 8990 to my return?

 

HELP.  I guess it is time to go to a professional tax preparer.

Minimal amount of Excess Business Income is unlikely to affect your taxable income. Form 8990 is required only if you need to track excess business interest or have a significant amount of interest expense to deduct.

 

You might review the information here: IRS Basic questions and answers about the limitation on the deduction for business interest expense.
