California Form 3514 want Business Code, etc. populated, but we don't have any of that and don't qualify for EIC. How do we get rid of that form?

Hi

I received the error when I was at the review stage after completing my taxes.  An error was identified that I need a business code on california form 3514.  I do have a schedule C.  I reviewed the list of forms available after going to the forms option and did not see a form labelled 3514.  I reviewed all the items that had a red exclamation point and none were for form 3514

After submitting my issue I went back to the forms page and saw that there was a search option.  I put 3514 in the search bar and lo and behold form 3514 came up and the input area for business code was highlighted in yellow.  I followed the instructions and went to Schedule C to get the business code and I manual input the code into the form.  Consequently I no longer have an issue.

It does seem that this should have been autopopulated and if not autopopulated the form 3514 should have shown up in the list of forms and had a red exclamation point .

Thank you for the update. I am referring the issue you reported with Form 3514 for further review.

@missdeepo - were you able to resolve your issue with Form 3514 and file? If not, in order for us to troubleshoot this issue, you can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information. If you would like to do this, here are the instructions for TurboTax Desktop users:

With the help of an amazing rep I was able to get this fixed last week.

1) Enter any number for Business Code -- I think I did "0000"

2) This will enable the 3514 to actually show up in the list of forms

3) Now go back to Tools, Forms, and 3514 should show up

4) Delete 3514 form

5) You should be able to submit!

Hope that helps

This 100% did the trick. Thanks for posting this.

exactly right. if it asks for a code-- enter anything. I used "All other personal services" 812990. then you can go to tools, delete forms and it will appear and you can delete 3514.
