Deductions & credits

I was referring to the total of Line 1 Schedule M-1 Net income or loss per books and Line 3 Schedule M-2 Net income and loss.

There was no loan to partners only loan repayment from business to partners which was recorded in the bookkeeping as a normal loan repayment. As I'm doing error check the error that comes up is about just the date of sending the return and then I get a message saying Check M2 income/loss amount reported on Schedule M-2. This amount should be the net income/loss on the partnership books used in maintaining the partners tax basis capital accounts for the purposes of Schedule K-1. I don't know more to do since it looks like everything is in order but I'm not sure it is an error or just information
