Form 1065 Schedule M-2 Line 3 with Guaranteed Payments

I have a LLC filing form 1065 where one of the partners receives a guaranteed payment.  The instructions for Form 1065 Schedule M-2 line 3 state that this is generally the amount entered on line 9 of schedule M-1.  They go on to state if net income includes income from guaranteed payments made to partners, remove such income on line 7.

 

Turbotax is not entering Schedule M-1 line 9 directly on Schedule M-2 line 3.  It is subtracting guaranteed payments from the amount reported on Schedule M-1 line 9 in the smart worksheet.  This seems to go against the instructions which state to adjust for guaranteed payments on line 7 - other decreases.

 

Has anyone else ran into this?  Is Turbotax incorrectly calculating Schedule M-2?  Should I go with Turbotax or override?
