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.
