Question on Maryland K-1 (Form 511) PTE Tax Entry & E-File Diagnostic #3460

Individual Return Case:  The taxpayer is a Virginia resident for 2025. However, he received a Maryland Schedule K-1 from a Maryland partnership. On the Maryland Schedule K-1 (Form 510/511), Part D "Nonresident/Resident Tax," Line 2 "Pass-through entity election tax paid on member's distributive or pro rata income by this PTE (Form 511)," there is an amount of $3,888. I entered the $3,888 in the following input field in ProConnect.

However, doing so triggered the following e-file diagnostic:

For electronically filed returns, the state of Maryland requires the total Maryland tax withheld to equal the tax withheld from all W2s, W2Gs, 1099Rs, 1099Gs, 1099Miscs, 1099NECs, 1099Ints and 1099Divs. All other Maryland tax withholdings (such as withholding from Passthrough K-1's or Sch D transactions) are not allowed for electronic filing and the return must be filed as a conventional paper return. MD - Ref #3460

My questions are:  (1) Did I enter the $3,888 in the correct input field in ProConnect? (2) Is there a different way to enter this amount so that the Maryland return can still be e-filed?   (3) Has anyone encountered this issue before?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
