When entering current ownership % in partner information, the prior year ownership field changes to the end of year % value.  Each year end changes as distributions during the year are not proportional.

I don't quite understand your question.  Your percent in the partnership should not change from year to year unless you added or lost a member or you or another member added significant capital into the partnership (ie purchased additional shares such as going from 50-50 to 33 - 67%  If this is the case you have other tax problems and should seek professional tax help. 

So are you entering your Schedule K-1 data into your personal TurboTax return  or completing the business tax return? 

you say distributions during the year are not proportional  Why?  does a member have a guaranteed payment, are you reimbursed for expenses  Distributions are normally  equal to the ownership percent unless you have other special situations.  If so seek professional tax help.
