State taxes e-file ineligibility

Got notified that I am ineligible to e-file my Alabama state taxes due to the following reason:

Returns with amount reported on Form 40, Pg.2, Part I, line 6, and not equal to the aggregate amount reported as Total Income or (Loss) from all Alabama Schedule E's, line 25, are not eligible for electronic filing.

I likely have typed something in wrong. I am a part time resident of the Alabama for 2020 tax year.

Any suggestions on where to begin to reconcile this issue so that I may e-file?

The error is pertaining to rental income being reported on your Alabama return.

If there is an amount shown for rental income on AL Form 40 page 2 part 1 line 6, there must be a corresponding Schedule E in the Alabama return showing the same amount.

Since I split time in 2020 between AL and another state,GA, I applied the percentage of real estate income to the percentage of time I lived in each state. Is this the correct thing to do? If so, TT won't let me break up that percentage on Schedule E line 23 to reach that appropriate percentage because it applies all of the real estate income to AL and to GA. That set up seems as though I am getting taxed in two states for the full amount as if I lived in both AL and GA all year long.
