1041 Line 20 QBI Error

This is a new error message I’ve never seen before. I’ve attached a snip of the message. I believe it’s referencing Schedule B of the 8995A, but it seems incorrect. 89995A is specifically for complex calculations, so it’s for income greater than $191,950.  I’ve reinstalled the product; looked for any box I could’ve accidentally checked; nothing found.  I called support, and their suggestion was to uncheck the box for error checking on the efile screen. But even that didn’t work; Proseries wouldn’t prepare the efile file.

This isn’t a new return; I’ve prepared it for years. Has anybody seen this before?

Do you normally file form 8995-A?   And have you always aggregated multiple businesses/properties on Schedule B, 8995-A?    Lastly, is line 6 checked on the QBI Ded Summary?    I am trying to generate that error message.  Thanks!

HI Dawn,

Yes, I normally file 8995-A and aggregate on Sch B. No, line 6 is not checked.

 

Thanks!

I have the same problem with an error on the QBI deduction when I am using form 8995-A, but the program is checking it as if I used 8995.  I tried to efile by unchecking the efile box for error checking, but the return did not go through.  The calculation is correct on my return, but I get the same error message as ou97cpa.  The $191,950 is the 2024 amount for form 8995.  The 2025 number is $197,300.  Regardless when filing form 8995-A, the 191,950 (or 197,300) is not relevant.  This is a programing error.  The only answer seems to be to paper file.  Does anyone have a work around?

Thank you for that information, ​@ou97cpa; I was able to generate the error and it is being investigated.

The error has been removed.   You should be able to update your software and e-file your return(s).   Make sure you are using the latest release of ProSeries.
