Additional info:

1. This K-1 had income from two different activities - ordinary business income (loss) and Net rental income, so I had to create two K-1s (per TT instructions)
2. This same K-1 had K-3 foreign tax credit info for two countries - IN and MEX.  Per TT instructions I put one country on each of the two K-1s. 
3. This same K-1 had Box 20, Code Z, Section 199A information listing two partners - I put the info for one partner on each of the two K-1s.  
4. I did try editing the numbers.  Last year, one community member was able to resolve the error by deleting the 0.  This did not work for me.  

I'm not sure if I can help directly, but I have a few thoughts:

1) Good.

2) No, unless the rental had a credit for one country and the business had a credit for the other country, you may need to add a third K-1 to split it between the two countries.  In connection with #4 (see below), you may also need to split the income as well (for example, have two K-1s with split Box 1 income).

3) The Box 20/199A information should only reflect YOUR share.  I am unsure why it is referring to both partners.  Also, you enter that Box 20/199A information on the K-1 that is pertains to; if it pertains to Box 1, you put it on that K-1.  If it pertains to Box 2, you put it on that K-1.  If it partially applies to both, you need to split it up based on the nota/statement with the K-1.

4) Right above those two pink boxes is a line that says "Gross income sourced at partner level).  I suspect you need to fill that out.  Right now, that screen thinks you have ZERO foreign income but have paid some foreign taxes.  I suspect it is doing that because of the way you split the K-3/foreign income between two K-1s.
