Estate Tax Final Return - Business 2022 will not create K1 forms

I have completed 1041 estate taxes. Since this is the final year for filing and beneficiary distributions were made, I believe there are K1 forms to be created. The beneficiaries are included on other information, including the amount of distribution. But when I attempt to create K1, I get the message shown below. 

 

What am I missing?

Are the figures on the K-1s not appearing?

 

If that is the case, enter Forms Mode and look for the Beneficiary's Allocation Smart Worksheet (see screenshot) and input each beneficiary's percentage of their share of the distribution.

If I go to forms exactly as you suggest, there are K1 forms for each beneficiary and the worksheet for them is filled out, complete with percentages. Can I simply print the forms from there, instead of having the program do it? 

 

I checked them, saved them, and am still getting the partner/shareholder information. It's a simple return otherwise. 

 

I've made sure the program is fully updated. I've run the error check with no errors. This is the only thing holding me back from completing and filing.

You did start a 1041 return, correct? Make sure you didn't inadvertently start another type of return, such as a 1065 or 1120-S.
