I've taken multiple seminars for the 2023 filing season.  The IRS election exception is very difficult to meet, so ALL seminar presenters advised to just file the K-2 & K-3 even if it doesn't have anything on it.  

What do we need to do in the software to accomplish this?  I have many small partnerships and s-corps that don't have any foreign activity, but I have just a few that I don't prepare the 1040s for the partners and s-corp members.  If they pay >$300 in foreign taxes, the exception doesn't apply and the K-2 K-3 must be filed.  There is no way to know if the other partners have >$300 in foreign taxes, so filing the K-2 K-3 (even with $0s) should cover us.

I understand this is early in the filing season, but I wanted to get this out there so the programmers can get everything correct.
