how to fix error "wages from coop payments should not be more than the wages from this business"?

I am filling out my K1 and I keep getting this message that I need to fix this issue

The total wages that you entered as paid by the business can't be less than the co-op wages.  They can be equal, but not less.

Maybe you are entering numbers into incorrect boxes?  Does the business issuing you a K1 pay co-op wages?

I think maybe the issue is that for box 20, code z, my K1 has W2 wages that are negative!  I don't know what that means as I am a passive investor in this business.  So technically the coop payments of "0" (which automatically appeared - I did not manually enter the "0") are greater than the W2 wages of "-976".  But if there aren't any coop payments from this business that I can see, I am not sure what other number I can put there as it is asking me to correct the "0."

If this form error relates to Section 199A information provided with Schedule K-1, do not enter any negative numbers. That should resolve the form error.

Your other option is to delete the problematic Schedule K-1 from your K-1 Summary list and re-enter the information.
