Turbotax forcing Qualified Business Income deduction

My shedule K-1 has a statement showing Section 199A information but this is for a real estate partnership and we do not meet the 250 hours requirement for QBI deduction. Turbotax doesn't give me the option to declare whether the income is ineligible. Do I have to go into the tax forms and manipulate by hand?

The error started back on the partnership return ... it needs to be corrected to remove the 199A from the K-1.

It is unclear where TT captures or derives whether a business is a Qualified Business or not. Consulting businesses are not "qualified" but the question does not seem to be asked in the interview or on a form anyplace. As a result 199A dividends are declared to be deductible when they should not be. I can't find where to turn it off.

Easy fix ... remove the unneeded unwanted 1099-A entry ... this will remove the 8995 automatically. Of course the question really stems from an incorrect business return producing an incorrect K-1 form. But since the deduction is optional and not a requirement you can just remove the erroneous entry from the K-1.
