When running the error check, I get an error that states "QBI Passive loss c/f should not have a value when no previously disallowed losses are present for regular tax purposes." This number relates to a Loss from 2018. I got the same error last year. If I eliminate the QBI number listed on schedule E worksheet row G in carryovers to 2024 smart worksheet, the error goes away. I was wondering if this will hurt me down the road. ??

if I put a -1 in the regular tax and ALT tax columns, the error goes away. How do i find what really should be in those cells?
In Turbo Tax 2022. The Carryovers to smart worksheet has passive losses listed for 2018-2021, however in 2023 when I first saw this error, there was nothing in that worksheet.
Please see the response in this thread from @ThomasM125, which provides a good explanation of the situation and the best option for moving forward with your return.

To test this further, it would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2024" file.
If you would be willing to send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information, please follow these instructions:
In TurboTax Desktop, open your return and go to Online in the TurboTax header. (On a Mac computer, choose File >> Share.)
We will then be able to see the same experience you are having. If we are able to determine the cause, we'll reply here and provide you with a resolution.
Qualified Business Income (QBI) is your net income from business activities, rental property in your case evidently. If you have a loss in the rentals, then the QBI will be negative. Since it appears you have no rental losses that are being carried forward, the QBI losses associated with them would have been recognized in the periods you deducted the rental losses, so there would be no carryover QBI losses left.
So, there shouldn't be any QBI losses on your tax return assuming you applied your rental loss carryovers from 2018 properly in previous years. In that case, you should delete them from your Schedule E and it won't affect you going forward.
In 2022, the work sheet listed carryover losses for 2018-2021. In 2023, the worksheet was blank except for 2018. Same in 2024, no carryover losses from previous years except 2018???
