In the Fix Errors step, there is a large Negative Principal Paid amount of -395,000 which is the same figure as the principal balance at year end?

Be sure to enter 0 (zero) as the ending (01/01/2019) balance of the loan that was bought. 

make sure Box 2 has the beginning balance of the loan for either 

January 1, of the tax year (in this case 01/01/2018)

OR

The balance on the date the loan was originated or transferred if originated or transferred in the tax year  (in this case 2018)
