Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) Box 20 Code AH

My K-1 Box 20 has Code AH with the following description:

Business Interest Expense Limitation Information:

Adjusted Taxable Income $10,555

I don’t know what I am supposed to do with this information. The dollar amount does not seem to be related to any other information on the form. I did not know if this is an additional income for my Maryland tax return? I did not know if I am to do anything with the dollar amount for my 2019 taxes or for my future 2020 taxes. Do you know what this means? In looking at the IRS document “2019 Partner’s Instructions for Schedule K-1” it is still unclear to me what the description means.

Thanks for your help!

    Read this IRS link  as it explains the limitation on the deduction for business interest expense. Entering this does not affect your tax return. it is telling you that $10,655 business interest cannot be claimed because there is a 163(j) limitation on the deduction for business interest expense? 

     Generally, taxpayers can deduct interest expense paid or accrued in the taxable year.  However, if section 163(j) applies, the amount of deductible business interest expense in a taxable year cannot exceed the sum of:

    1. the taxpayer’s business interest income for the year;
    2. 30% of the taxpayer’s adjusted taxable income (ATI) for the year; and
    3. the taxpayer’s floor plan financing interest expense for the year

    Thanks! From reading the provided link, I think my K-1 was just providing me the calculated value for ATI.  I believe the limitation was not reached, and there is not a carry forward to the next year.
