I also tried overriding the Sch B lines but that somehow doubles the capital loss and doesn't clear the diagnostic.

Are you sure you checked the box for final return?

The "other" distributions should all 3 be 50 for each of the two beneficiaries. All 3 "required" distributions should be blank.

How did you complete the 1041 Distributions portion of the input?

There are two beneficiaries, and I entered 50.0 & 50.0 in their respective Other Long Term boxes.  The capital loss is a carryover from prior years; there is no current year capital gain or loss.  I tried entering 25.0 & 25.0 in both their Required and Other long term boxes, as I know sometimes that works, but it didn't clear the diagnostic either.
