I had all the same issues and questions as user taxchallenged2, however, I question whether the income category for Box 14 is really "Passive". At the beginning of the K-1 sequence, TurboTax asks the user to "Enter amounts from boxes 1 and 2" and includes Boxes for Interest, Ordinary Dividends, and Qualified Dividends. When I click on the explanatory link for "boxes 1 and 2" it says that the portfolio income is NOT passive and I don't see why it would be different for the "A-Tax-exempt interest" and "B-Foreign taxes" Box 14 codes. Here is the full explanation TurboTax provides:

 

"Portfolio income is usually income from investments.

It might be from interest, dividends, royalties, a real estate investment trust, a regulated investment company, other fund/cooperatives income, or income from the disposition of property held for investment.

Portfolio income is taxable to each beneficiary to the extent this income is reported on your Schedule K-1 for estates or trusts.

Portfolio income and losses are not considered passive, and portfolio income cannot be used to offset passive losses."

 

The reason I have for questioning this is that TurboTax fills out Schedule E with the name of the Trust, but it doesn't include any income or figures beyond that, and all the dividend and other income is appearing properly under Schedule B, etc.
