Needing K-1 help Box 17 items

[boogs_grams]

I have several amounts but the identifiers are not matching up & I do not know where to put them.

I have three code V amounts, one code AC amount. 

It is forcing a form 7203 but I have no idea why as I can't answer the questions.

Also do not understand the QBI

[JamesG1]

The Qualified Business Income deduction (also called the QBI deduction, pass-through deduction, or section 199A deduction) was created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) and is in effect for tax years 2018 through 2025.

The Code V entries are likely used to compute the Qualified Business Income Deduction (section 199A information).  You are allowed a deduction of up to 20% of your qualified business income as a deduction on line 13 of your Federal 1040 tax return.

The Code V amounts are likely used to compute the section 199A deduction.  Follow these steps:

• In the K-1 entry screens, at the screen Enter Box 17 Info, select V-Section 199A information.  Leave Amount empty.  Click Continue.  This tells the software that Section 199A information will need to be entered for the income previously reported.
• At the screen We see you have Section 199A income, select the appropriate income description.  Click How would I know this? for more information.
• At the screen We need some information about your 199A income, select the appropriate income description and amount from the 199A detail provided with the K-1.  In many cases, you will also select and enter values for W-2 wages and UBIA of qualified property.  Click Continue.

Instructions for Schedule K-1 Form 1120-S (page 17) explains Code AC:

Code AC

Gross receipts for section 448(c). Use the gross receipts amount to figure the business interest expense you can deduct, if applicable. See section 163(j) and the Instructions for Form 8990 for details.

This information is used if you must file IRS form 8990 Limitation on Business Interest Expense Under Section 163(J).

IRS form 7203 S Corporation Shareholder Stock and Debt Basis Limitations is used by S corporation shareholders to determine their basis in the S corporation when the shareholders: 

• Are claiming a deduction for their share of an aggregate loss from an S corporation (including an aggregate loss not allowed last year because of basis limitations), 
• Received a non-dividend distribution from an S corporation, 
• Disposed of stock in an S corporation (whether or not gain is recognized), or 
• Received a loan repayment from an S corporation

What questions are you having trouble with?

Thank you for the explanations.

I have entered the box 17 amounts for codes V & AC. It then brings me to a 7203 with the first question being stock block. I have no idea what this means, it has never come up before.

If I skip over that, it then wants more information on the 199A income. I have amounts for business income & W2 wages. The other code V item is Unadjusted Basis and the Code AC item is gross receipts. I'm not sure if those are supposed to be entered on this screen.

The "Stock Block" on Form 7203 merely refers to the stock purchase transactions the basis calculation is for.  For instance, if you purchased all the stock you own at one time, you can enter "1" for Stock Block.  If you made an initial purchase of 10 shares in 2019 and purchased another 10 shares in 2022, you will have 2 Form 7203, one with "1" for the stock block (the 2019 purchase) and another form with "2" for the stock block (for the 2022 purchase).

The Section 199A income screen has a check box listed for each line item on your Statement A.  Once you have checked the box, for instance for the UBIA (Unadjusted Basis In Assets) another box will open so you can enter the value shown on your statement.

Thank you.

Is the "unadjusted basis" number that I have listed in the Code V information the same as UBIA?

[PatriciaV]

Yes, the amount shown for Box 17 Code V may be labelled as "unadjusted basis" and is entered for UBIA.
