for the K-1's, the system won't let me put a negative number as the beginning capital account

Due to losses the Capital Accounts ended up negative after last year, BUT TurboTax won't let me put a negative value into the "Beginning Capital"...any ideas how to fix this???

I'm not sure if you are dealing with a partnership or S corporation, but I noticed I can enter a negative value for opening capital in my partnership entry. Otherwise, you can adjust it by making an entry to Other Increase (Decrease):
