Thank you, very helpful!  I am wondering if you are with Intuit?  And if NOT, how did you come to have the knowledge to answer this so clearly, comprehensively, and confidently?

No, she is just another Intuit user like the rest of us that spend way too much time here watching all of the posts that flow through this place.

hahahaha!!! She is super smart. :smile:

She is smart, and she spends a lot of time here answering questions to help our her fellow pro tax preparers.  

You're welcome!  Yes, I spend far too much time here!  

The K-1 QBI issue is/was 2 different issues, so I'm sure some posts abut it were saying "just follow the instructions and it works" was probably referring to the K-1 including the info...the ones that say it doesn't work, were referring to the 1040 being able to compute QBI from a K-1.

Some questions concerning K-1s and QBI might not have explained exactly what they were asking well enough and were interpreted differently by those that commented and answered, leading to confusion as to what is correct.

Any idea when the K-1 QBI functionality will be working in 1040?

"Is the199A complex worksheet et.al working for Partnerships, and S-Corps?"

No.

That's as clean as I can get it without getting a jug of bleach out and scrubbing it.

"....or educate ourselves more thoroughly."

I'd go that route, even when the software IS up & running.  I'm not trusting the software this year nearly as much as I have in the past.

Nope, never trust any software until it jives with how I'd calculate things manually.  And if it's any different, I'd double check the logic to see whether I got it wrong or the other way around and why.

Thank you, and this helped enter the data, but I could not see that it helped to understand why the values were not pulling through to the QBI Summary and 1040. Thank you again.

We are *all* just users of Intuit software, just like you.  Except for the occasional employee/moderator that stops by, and they are so identified by their "handle".
