Capital gains allocation to beneficiary of a trust

I'm trustee of a complex trust that allows capital gains to be included in income and distributed. I was having trouble getting the schedule D line 19 to match the K-1, so I tried a simple test.  I use $6,000 of dividends and $4,000 of capital gains, with a distribution of $8,000 to the beneficiary.  I've tried every combination on the screens "Allocation of Long-Term Gain" and "Gains Attributable to Income," and either the Schedule D is correct or the K-1 is, but not both, as follows:

Allocation        Gains Attributable         Sched B DNI             Sched D to beneficiary          K-1

3,200                        3,200                             9,200                                 3,200                           2,783

4,000                        3,200                             9,200                                 4,000                           3,200

3,200                        4,000                           10,000                                 3,200                           2,855

4,000                        4,000                           10,000                                 4,000                           3,200

I believe the DNI should be $10,000 and the distribution to the beneficiary should be $3,200 on both the Sched D and the K-1, but there is no combination that provides that answer.  Can you help?
