QBI Deduction - 1120S/1065 Message Amount Unallocated



How do I clear EF Message 0010 (1065) or 0011 (1120-S) regarding allocation of the QBI amounts?


EF Message 0010 or 0011 is generated if there are entries on the 199A or N199 screens that do not correspond to the total calculated amount of QBI on the 1065 or 1120-S return. See Related Links below for details on overriding or properly allocating the QBI amounts. 

The message text is as follows:

 

ADDITIONAL QBI INFORMATION REQUIRED: An "Amount unallocated to trade or business" has been reported on the QBI Information worksheet (Wks QBI). The amount must be allocated.

- If the income can be designated as coming from a trade or business, allocate the amount using screen 199A.

- If the income can NOT be designated as coming from a trade or business, allocate the amount on screen N199.
