Schedule K-3

I have a Schedule K-1 (from United States Oil Fund LP). Box 16 is checked indicating I need to file a K-3. The K-3 will not be available until August 2022 (lag due to IRS changing its requirements and guidance). I do not want to file for an extension and wait around until August to complete my taxes.

 

Is it true that if I don't have an amount in Box 21: foreign taxes paid (it is empty, no entry, no zero, nothing) of my K-1, I can uncheck Box 16, file my taxes, and move on with my life? Or will this come back to haunt me later?
