QBI often differs from Box 1 "Ordinary income" on a Schedule K-1 from a partnership, S Corp, etc. The TurboTax QBI calculation takes the amount entered from the "Enter Box 1 Info" (ordinary income) screen instead of from the "Enter Box 20 Info" (QBI) screen. Seems to be a TT error.

For IRS Schedule K-1 (1065), at the screen Enter Box 20 info, select code Z Section 199A information.  A value does not have to be entered.

For IRS Schedule K-1 (1120S), at the screen Enter Box 17 info, select code V Section 199A information.  A value does not have to be entered.

 

Then click Continue.

 

At the screen We need some information about your 199A income, click the box to the left of the item to be entered.  An entry box will open.  You may be entering information provided by the preparer of the K-1 on a Statement A.  Such items to be reported may be:

 

  • Ordinary business income (loss) from this business,
  • W-2 wages for this business, and
  • UBIA of qualified property for this business.

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