I don't think the $5,000 is the issue.  It may be that you labeled both Start-Up Costs the same.

 

How to list startup costs for a business

  1. Select Intangibles, 
  2. Other property on the Describe 
  3. This Asset page.
  4. Select Amortizable intangibles on the Tell Us a Little More page.
  5. Type Startup Costs as the description, then the cost remaining to be amortized and the date you opened for business.

In step 5 make one Startup Cost 1, and the other Startup Cost 2, or some variation of that.
