Problem with Massachusetts Schedule CMS

Hello, I'm a long time TurboTax user and I'm trying to complete my 2021 Massachusetts State Tax Return.  This year I received a PTE Tax Credit on Form SK-1 via a MA S Corp that I have an ownership interest in.   To claim the credit and apply it against my 2021 MA tax liability I need to fill out Section 3 of Schedule CMS.  The problem is that when I get to Box 3b I am need to enter the credit type as "ELTCRD" but TurboTax does not include this as an option.   I can enter ELTCRD into Section 4, but this is the wrong section since I want to use the credit to reduce my current year tax liabilty and according to my understanding of the Schedule CMS Instructions I need to put the amount into Section 3.  How do I solve this?
