I have an entry for my K-1 Box 17 Section 199a Code V. But turbotax insists that "no section 199A income has been entered on Statement A".

Have you been able to reboot or clear cache or use a different browser to make progress?

Do you have a net gain or net loss for the year?  Do you have carryovers from previous years?

There are three different kinds of K-1’s that can be entered into TurboTax software. 

• Partnerships/LLCs (form 1065)
• S corporations (form 1120S)
• Estates and trusts (form 1040) 

You should be able to read the top of the form and determine which K-1 that you will be entering.  I think that you are asking about S corporations (form 1120S).

Please follow these directions. 

• Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
• Across the top of the screen, click on Wages & Income.
• Under Your income, scroll down to Schedule K-1 and click Edit/Add to the right.
• At the screen Tell us about your Schedule K-1, you tell the software which Schedule K-1 you received.
• For several screens, you will be entering data right off the K-1 form. 

K-1 1120S box 17 information is entered under code V.  If the K-1 has no dollar amount, the Section 199A income will be on an attached statement.

At the screen We see you have Section 199A income you will probably choose The income comes from the S corporation that generated this K-1.

At the screen We need some information about your 199A income, you will likely enter: 

• the income line,
• a W-2 wage line and
• a UBIA of qualified property line.

 Hopefully this information is on an attached statement if the information is not listed on the K-1 itself.
