For S Corp, TurboTax Business fill out Schedule M-1 instead of M-2

I have previous losses on 2018 and 2019 so I typically need to do a M-2. (Income/Assist is under the $250k)

For some reason TT Business decides to fill out the M-1 form instead of the M-2. Turbotax has never asked me about previous (negative) balance at the beginning of the tax year.

 

So I forced it to do the M-2.

I manually clicked "No" under Schedule  M-1 section F  to not "Use amount on line E for Schedule M-1, line 1?".

Then under Schedule M-2 check mark the "Compute Schedule M-2?" to Yes as well and the following line to automate Schedule M-2. 

 

What concerns me is that I see TurboTax still generates a Schedule M-1 Items Worksheet and Schedule M-2 Worksheet and a few other sheets the I'm wondering if this gets transmitted to the IRS which then might trigger a audit..  Or did I do it correctly on overriding the M-1?

 

Also previous tax forms (done by my CPA) left Total Assets empty. TurboTax forced me to enter in a value.. I put 0 in but I know I have to correct that. Why doesn't TT allow me to have that blank like my accountant's work?

 

Thanks for the help.

The worksheets are not transmitted to the IRS (including the "smart worksheets") and you can uncheck M-2 in Forms Mode.
