When I add a new partner on the "Enter Partner Information" page, the software automatically checks the "This is the first year" box, but also automatically checks the "This partner left the company this year" box. These selections cannot be corrected. Even deleting and reentering does not fix the problem. THIS IS CLEARLY A SOFTWARE BUG!

We have tested this situation in a partnership 1065 return but are unable to reproduce the experience you have seen. It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2023" file to test further.
If you would be willing to send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information, please follow these instructions:
In TurboTax Desktop, open your return and go to Online in the TurboTax header.
We will then be able to see the same experience you are having. If we are able to determine the cause, we'll reply here and provide you with a resolution.

I have the same issue, my Token number is 1188660. @PatriciaV
We have confirmed the issue you see in your partnership return and are looking into a possible fix.
In the meantime, here is a work-around that will give you the result you need without causing any form errors.
You will need to adjust the ending ownership/profit/loss percentages for all partners so that the totals at the bottom of the Sch K-1 Wks are all 100%. If you see a form with a red exclamation mark or a field in red, click the Errors icon above the forms list to open a footer that describes all errors for that form.
Note that checking the box for change of ownership serves to create the Allocation Worksheet and nothing more. You do not need to report a change in ownership on the return, other than the check boxes on each K-1.
For any box on a form, you can right-click on the box and choose About to obtain more information on what to enter. Any box highlighted in yellow will accept direct input. Green numbers were carried over from last year; blue numbers are direct input. Black numbers are calculated and cannot be changed.

I had similar issue - wasn't a new partner but a change in partnership percentage. To get around the software error, you have to check NO partnership changes in order to get the screen to enter beginning/ending percentage changes. And no, you cannot manually adjust in the "Forms" section. Just updated software this morning. Very disappointing - every year I waste hours tracking down software bugs.
