Hello - 

I was having the same issue and was able to resolve via this detail.  In p.4-5 of the 1065 there is a section for Partners Liability Smart Worksheet.  In that section a letter was assigned to the liability amount that was creating the error (in my case "A").  When I returned to the "Sch K-1 Wks" section, I entered the amounts for each partner in the "By Amount" column by the letter A, and it all worked!

This does not work for recourse liabilities - Code D.  Does any have experience with this issue relative to recourse liabilities (e.g., security deposit)?

Hi All,
Had the same problem.
2 step process; Step 1 - Click Forms, Click Form 1065 p4-5, find line item you want to allocate, input SA code in box, I used B.  Step 2 - click Schedule K-1(Partner 1) click QuickZoom to Schedule K-1 Worksheet, find Special Allocations Area, I found B and input amount I wanted for Partner 1,  Repeat Step 2 for remaining partners.
Hope that helps!
Spent 2 hours on that! Ugh!

I had a similar issue where a member of the LLC made a recourse loan to the LLC. In the Partners' Liabilities SmartWorksheet on p. 6 of Form 1065 (below the balance sheet "Schedule L") the amount was there, but in RED. I could not for the life of me figure out what was wrong. After two hours and many searches later, I realized that there is a SMALL BOX to the left of the number. 
Here's what I found: 

Partners' Liabilities
The program allocates liabilities to all partners based on their year-end profit ratio. The program allocates all other liabilities ONLY to the general partners based on their year-end loss ratio. If you want to allocate the liabilities in a different manner, use the special allocation boxes.

NOTE: Loans from partners on line 19a, column d are treated as recourse debt on line D of the Partner's Liabilities Smart Worksheet. (This part was OK, but in RED for me, until...)

CAUTION - Limited Liability Companies: Recourse liabilities, entered or calculated to the Partner's Liabilities Smart Worksheet, page 6, line D will NOT be allocated to members unless a special allocation code is entered (i.e. entered in the tiny box to the left of the number). Enter a special allocation code ("P" for Profit percentage, "L" for Loss percentage, "O" for Ownership percentage, or any other ) in the column to the left of the amount. 
As soon as I entered "O", the amount was proportionally added to each K-1, line K1 and all was well with the universe!
