OK. In looking at the "Forms" list instead of "Easy Step" for another reason, I noticed that the K-1 worksheet was flagged with an error alert. So in thinking about Occam's razor, I went to the worksheet Box 14, Code B : Foreign Tax information and noted that on line 5a, Gross Income, there was no entry for "Total" or for "U. S. Source" (which I submit is a TT error, as all of these numbers were in the Easy Step dialogue). So I entered the total of K-1 income (lines 2a+3+4a in my case) in "Total" and subtracted the (already filled by TT) entry for "Foreign" taxes. I entered this result in the blank box for "U. S. Source" and noted that the worksheet error flag disappeared. I then started over with e-file and away went my now errorless return to the IRS!! So I conclude that this is indeed a TT error of not filling in the worksheet with information from Easy Step.
