We did not finalize the return until sometime in late September. I honestly do not remember if the input screens changed in the many months from the posting of my question until the actual return was finalized.but I think they did. Anyway we ultimately input the information in screen 25, line 20 - Section 199A information. Lacerte then printed out a deduction equal to the proper amount on line 15 of the Form 1041. The deduction was included with several other items on line 15 of the 1041 so you have to go to the referenced return statement to see that it is included in the return. I hope some of this helps (a little bit). It was a very frustrating year. Good luck!
