Can I avoid entering multiple forms K-1 for a limited partnership with multiple codes in Part III line 16 when ALL lines in Pt III are blank or 0?

Form K-1 for a limited partnership held 1 day and sold for a loss.  Part III line 1 is 0, lines 2 and 3 blank.  ALL other Part III lines are blank or 0.  Line 16 has CANADA and several codes, all 0 values.  Federal Review flags it with "Sch K-1 Wks-Partnerships (NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP): Box 16 Description-1 has been entered for more than one type of income. Use separate K-1 worksheets to report more than one type of foreign gross income sourced at the entity level."
Is there some way to get through this without all of those extra K-1 entries (all 0s)?

Remove all zeroes. Zeroes are notorious for causing issues.

Thanks!  I was hoping - I'll try deleting the zero entries.
The LP probably included the zero entries for "completeness" (and of course, they might not be zero for people that held the LP for longer - I was day-trading and bought things I really shouldn't have!).  I entered whatever the K-1 said - again, for completeness - but it seems like TT isn't being as smart as it could be about whether an entry is "significant" in terms of triggering other entries.
Thanks again for the advice!

I should mention that in box 16, deleting includes both the descriptors and the amounts.
