SECTION 199A INFORMATION FOR TAX YEAR 2021

It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2021" file that is experiencing this issue.

You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information.  If you would like to do this, here are the instructions: 

Go to the black panel on the left side of your program and select Tax Tools. 

1. Then select Tools below Tax Tools. 
2. A window will pop up which says Tools Center.  
3. On this screen, select Share my file with Agent. 
4. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number. 
5. Reply to this thread with your Token number. This will allow us to open a copy of your return without seeing any personal information.  

We will then be able to see exactly what you are seeing and we can determine what exactly is going on in your return and provide you with a resolution.

Thank you for the prompt attention to this matter.

v in box 20 is meaningless. it goes nowhere. for the 199A deduction you need the supporting schedule for that info and that gets entered in the 199A section of the k-1. in forms mode open the K-1 and scroll down to the section labeled D1 and D2. that's whee the info gets entered to generate the QBI deduction and form 8995 

Does anyone from Turbo tax have an update on this?  I still cannot get past this one item to file my taxes.  Please advise.

You have missed checking the box, "xxx has business income (loss)" when entering the 199A income information.  To correct this you need to follow these steps in TurboTax Home & Business:

1. Within your return in Step-by-Step mode,  under the Personal tab and the Personal Income sub-tab click  Continue
2. Click I'll choose what I work on
3. Scroll down to Business Investment and Estate/Trust Income and click Update on the Schedule K-1 line
4. Click Update on the S corporations line
5. Click Edit for the S corporation K-1
6. Answer any questions that reset blank and Continue until you get to the We need some information about your 199A income screen
7. Check the first box for xxx has business income (loss) and enter the amount of your Ordinary Business Income from the matching line on your "Statement A - QBI Pass-through Entity Reporting" that is page 2 of your K-1.

This corrects the error and allows the QBI deduction to calculate on your returns.

@DANGYKICKR

What do you if your section 199A income is a result of a Form 4797 and you are not a partnership but a sole proprietor?

Once you enter in your Schedule C, E, or F, 1099-DIV information and answer a few questions related to the business income, TurboTax will calculate the QBI deduction.

You could go back to the interview and select 'none of the above' on the Safe Harbor election page.

 I have not been able to get past this to file my personal taxes. I have 0 income in this section (V). I have done my business taxes with TurboTax for Business 2021. I have not had a problem in previous years.

Can you clarify if you are trying to get box 20 code V to populate on your business tax return? Or are you trying to do your personal return and do not have an amount in your box 20 code V?

@gvancott

Mine is Box 17 V Info on the K-1 and it has a zero value as mine is a Loss and you can't put a loss there per the IRS instructions. But I keep getting the error that there is no income reported on that line.  But there shouldn't be.

It also will not let me get past this ERROR check. 

Please help!

It's late and I need to get to bed but please advise.

See below image of my screen showing the RED V .

I tried changing it both ways that I've read in this chain but nothing works.

Any suggestions?

OH and mine is the personal return.  I don't know how to change it in the business and should I really?  It seems right. Zero since it's a Loss.

I can't seem to clear code Z

For 1120S K-1 Box 17 Code V (or 1065 K-1 Box 20 Code Z), nothing should be entered in the Amount field. Instead, enter the supplemental information later in the interview. If you have already entered a zero, delete the number so the box is blank.

Token 1026496 - I have a 1065 K1 with Code Z in Box 20.    It keeps telling me to enter Section 199A in Statement A and I have no idea what to do.    Bad closed loop.

There is no dividend income; only passive loss on rental real estate.

Thanks for help.....

I received a K-1 that includes section 199A info on line 20. I can't seem to input the info properly into my return since my attempts to E-file are rejected because of this entry. I don't think the info affects my  tax liability should I just delete it from my return ?

This solved a different but related problem for me. One of my K-1s had Box 20 Code Z with "[See] Statement" but the statement had several items.

I first tried inserting the most meaningful (yes, I know it's taxation...) with no success.

This excellent answer led me to delete the Box 20 Z code, and it now passes the error check with no changes to the tax treatment.

Schedule K-1 doesn't show the 199A Deduction, except a V on line 17.  Is my income going to be reduced when I do my personal taxes, entering the information from the K-1 ???? 

Thanks!

No.  You should have a statement that provides the amounts for Box 17. This would have been provided with the K1. Review your documents and if necessary contact the person or agency that provided you with the K1.

• Form 1120S-K1 Instructions (page 16)  
  • Code V. Section 199A information. Generally, you may be allowed a deduction of up to 20% of your net qualified business income (QBI) plus 20% of your qualified REIT dividends, also known as section 199A dividends, and qualified publicly traded partnership (PTP) income from your S corporation. The S corporation will provide the information you need to figure your deduction.
