You are likely referring to either IRS Schedule K-1 (1065) or IRS Schedule K-1 (1120S).

For IRS Schedule K-1 (1065), at the screen Enter Box 20 info, select code Z Section 199A information.  A value does not have to be entered.

For IRS Schedule K-1 (1120S), at the screen Enter Box 17 info, select code V Section 199A information.  A value does not have to be entered.

Then click Continue.

At the screen We see you have Section 199A income, make the selection.

At the screen We need some information about your 199A income, click the box to the left of the item to be entered.  An entry box will open.  You may be entering:

• Ordinary business income (loss) from this business,
• W-2 wages for this business, and
• UBIA of qualified property for this business.

The information should be provided by the preparer of the K-1 and its attachments.  Enter the values that are provided for the qualified business income deduction to be calculated.
