What to do when an error message appears on K-1 Section 199A stating no income entered but income has been entered?

Have you entered the income reported on the K-1, but you are receiving an error message that section 199A items need to be reported?

 

Are you referring to IRS Schedule K-1 (1065) or IRS Schedule K-1 (1120S)?

Enter these values for the qualified business income deduction to be calculated.
