Turbo tax is not calculating my QBI deduction and it should be doing that.

Check to make sure your K-1 entry included entry on the screens to enter your Section 199A/QBI information provided with your K-1. These screens are described and show in screenshots later in this post.

For a partnership Form 1065 Schedule K-1, the Schedule A QBI information is entered into TurboTax as box 20 with a code Z.

For an S-corp Form 1120S Schedule K-1, the Schedule A QBI information is entered into TurboTax as box 17 with a code V.

Form a trust Form 1041 Schedule K-1, the Schedule A QBI information is entered into TurboTax as box 14 with a code of I (as in India).

You'll need to put the information on each of the K-1 statements into the categories shown in the "We need some information about your 199A income or loss" and "Let's check for some uncommon adjustments" screens (see two screenshots later in this post). 

Enter the code Z or V or I when you enter the K-1 box 20 or 17 or 14 screen, but you don't need to enter an amount.  Continue on, and you'll find the two screens.  When you check the box next to a category, a place will open up to enter your amounts.  These screens (if applicable to the amount(s) on your statement) must be completed in order for your K-1 QBI information to be correctly input into TurboTax. 

To get back to the K-1 summary screen and find the Schedule K-1 to edit, click the "magnifying glass Search" icon on the top row, enter "k-1" in the search window and press return or enter, and then click on the "Jump to k-1" link to find the K-1 you need to edit.

Here are the "We need some information about your 199A income or loss" and "Let's check for some uncommon adjustments" screens where you enter the information from your K-1:

I believe the questions about QBI appear right after you finish entering the business expense questions, i.e., near the end of the business interview.   Have you finished entering the business income and business expenses?

I see you are using desktop software, so please disregard my earlier comment about a shortcut in the Online version, which you may have been emailed.  However, the following method is similar for the desktop version.   In your Home and Business software, this is a shortcut for the Windows version using the Jump link:

• In the top right click on the Search tab/icon.
• In the search box enter QBI without quotes., then click the adjacent small magnifying glass.  NOTE:  Do not select anything in the dropdown menu while entering that term; instead first click the small magnifying glass after entering it.
• Then click on "Jump to QBI."

I am in the same situation, sole proprietor running a DBA, no corporation or LLC.  The QBI is designed for pass-through businesses like mine and presumably yours.  It is up to you to make the legal determination as to whether you qualify for the QBI but right at the top of the Schedule C form (which you should be filling out if you have a business) is a box for you to click to enable the QBI.

 However, I would not be using the 2019 program to fill out my 2020 taxes.  I am not a tax professional and have no idea what has changed between 2019 and 2020 but I do know that tax code can change and I would not risk using an old program.  I do recall when they child tax credits dropped annually and using the old form would have given you too high a tax credit. 

Saw your post to use Schedule C if QBI not calculating in  TT.  I previously entered income & expense & depletion on 1041 & associated forms for Trust royalties.  So, will TT pick up that data to calculate QBI once I include Schedule C in my forms ??   Do I only have to checkmark the QBI box on Schedule C for is to link to the data??
