Schedule K-1

Smart Check questions my entry of "Z" (highlighted in pink) as shown in box 20 of partnership K-1 because I have not entered any Section 199A income on Statement A.  The Statement A I received shows no 199A income, only a section 1231 gain which was entered in box 10 of the K-1.  If I remove the entry of "Z" on the K-1 the problem goes away and there does not seem to be any effect either way on my tax due.

    You need to leave the code Z entry and continue through answering the step-by-step interview questions.  You will come to a screen asking about your Section 199A QBI Pass-through Entity.  It will have you enter the Section 1231 gain again as specifically QBI in order to determine your eligibility for the QBI Deduction.

    AliciaP1, Thanks for the reply.  That's exactly what I did, re-entered the 1231 gain amount as that is the only number entered on the Statement A received from the accountant who prepared the partnership K-1's.  Turbo Tax still flags the Box 20 entry "Z" asking for the Section 199A income.  Note: I see nowhere on the Statement A where "Section 199A Income" is to be entered.

    Can you clarify if you have any amounts in box 1 or box 2?
