The income from the K1 is overstated by the amount of this 1099misc

Who issued you the 1099-MISC?  Was it the Partnership?  Or was it a client/customer of the Partnership?  Or something else?

It was issued by the real estate brokerage that I was paid real estate commissions from. The income is reported as revenue by our LLC and is reflected already in the income that our accountant used for our K1's

If YOU were paid the commission, it should not be on the Partnership return.

 

If the Partnership was paid the commission, the broker should have sent the 1099-MISC to the Partnership, not you.

 

If you incorrectly received a 1099-MISC for work done by the Partnership, you should report it as income, then enter an equal expense as "Nominee Income", which will result in $0 gain/loss.  And as the Nominee, you are probably required to send a 1099-MISC to your Partnership.
