Schedule K-1: Partner's Capital Account Analysis - Withdrawals and Distributions

[jcontreras3]

The Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) shows parenthesis around the amount shown for "Withdrawals and Distributions" implying it is a negative number or withdrawal.  How am I to enter it into the Turbotax field?  Do I enter it as a negative number?

secret. Turbotax does not use schedule L for anything. if you feel you must enter the number enter it as a negative. it seems the actual k-1 uses brackets, but Turbotax does not. in fact, there are instructions next to that line in step mode to enter it as a negative. also, as a negative in forms mode. you'll know you did it correctly when ending capital in Turbotax matches the k-1.
