Form 1041 Beneficiary List Error - Doesn't total 100% - Using direct entry method

[rckcpa]

When using direct method, no percentages show up on List of Beneficiaries, so get error message that "beneficiaries' percentages do not equal 100%". Will 1041 e-file with this error? If not, how fix?

cant you make them equal 100?  someone may need a fractional percentage more or less than the others to equal 100%

[rckcpa]

No percentages populate when using the direct method.

someone must be off by a dollar or something somewhere, no?

[rckcpa]

No. No percentages are listed for any beneficiary.

Answer is to enter percentages on K-1's, then override amounts on K-1's.
