  • Zero on line 1 and the K-1 being negative are mutually exclusive.  One has nothing to do with the other.
  • Line 1 is your stock basis at the beginning of the year.  Nothing else.
  • Debts don't go in Part III.  This is for loss items or deductions.  Maybe you just used the wrong word in describing what you are entering in Part III.
  • Do not enter any income in Part II.  That is not where it should go.
  • What line items do you have reflecting income or gain in Part I?
  • In general terms, explain the following:
    • What was your beginning of the year stock basis?
    • What was the total of your positive items; income, gain, etc?
    • What was the total of your loss items or deductions?
  • I am going to tag @Anonymous_ to see if he is aware of any issues with this form
