k-1 with 100 QBI (199a) activities

[jw-rogers]

Have a new client with a k-1 that has 100 QBI activities on box 20z, any friendly advice on what to do here?

Is each one piddly? I've been known to combine them.

There's rental and ordinary income ranging from $1 to $400, I could combine them based on that, they do appear to be apportioned, so I see the logic there.

It amazes me that most software cannot create totals.  I've also had a zillion QBI components that I've had to throw into Excel to add up.  Same with many investment houses who have the foreign tax income or the % free of state tax items but cannot add in a total column.  We should make software engineers prepare their own tax returns.  Grr.

On the K1 to the left of each line is an icon of a note pad, and if you click on that you can put as many items as you like, and it will add them for you
