2) The K-3 shows which kinds of things has foreign income. You should be able to see if the foreign income is for business, rentals, investments, etc. from analyzing the K-3. However, I am unsure how to find out how much tax is for a particular amount of income, unless you receive more information from the issuer of the K-1.
No, don't duplicate the amounts; you would need to split them, based on the amount of income from each source (but as I said, I don't know how you can do that without more information).
3) For simplicity, I would just skip the second line. It isn't worth the work for $9 of business income, potentially giving you a deduction of $2, and likely not saving any tax.
4) When you split the K-1s between Box 1 and Box 2, did you only enter the $589 and $2267 on one of them? And does that have income? I am unsure why it isn't pulling the income and putting it on the form you had showed.
I don't know about paying more for help. It is hit-and-miss if you get someone 'good', and foreign taxes are definitely among the more complicated aspect of a tax return. Just checking ... is the foreign tax a large amount? If it is only a few dollars, I would just leave it off the tax return (it doesn't make sense to pay $60 or more if the foreign tax is less than that).
