Please clarify the exact message you receive when you attempt to e-file your return. Also, what version of TurboTax are you using?
It is Home and Business. The message reads:
The return is ineligible for electronic filing. This return includes an LLC which is not a disregarded entity. The return must be printed and mailed
How do I change it to a disregarded entity
Are you filing a joint return? What state are you filing in? Did you complete a Schedule C in the business section of Home & Business? Or what section did you enter your business information in?
I am filing in CA. Joint return. I filled out a schedule C. No employees, just the sole proprietor. I never saw the question in your sample. I have been using this version of TurboTax for the last 20 years. and this error is new.
I always import from the year before.
So you are not a Single Member LLC? See if my notes help.
Is it trying to fill out a 568 return? You have inadvertently activated the Calif LLC return. To turn it off, go to the Calif Topic List "Business / Sch C Wks" screen that asks "Is *business name* a Single Member LLC for California filing purposes?", and answer No.
In the California interview, on the page "Business Summary", (and you get there by clicking on the "Start" button next to "Business Summary" on the "Uncommon Income and Other California Adjustments" page), there's a "Note" that reads "if any of these businesses are a Single Member LLC for California, select edit next to that business." I assume that's what you did.
If you're using the desktop program you should be able to simply go into "Forms" mode and delete that form from your income tax return.
It is a single member LLC. Just one person. It fills out 568 for the LLC and it should do that. I do this every year. why does TurboTax think I am NOT a single member LLC?
On my sch c worksheet it says: single member LLC? and the yes field is crossed.
I went to the state CA business summery page and edited my LLC saying again that it is a disregarded entity, but TurboTax still tells me it cannot e-file, because my LLC is NOT a disregarded entity.
I really want to e-file. Please help
could somebody please answer me? I believe it is a TurboTax mistake in the software. Please advice. Ellen
It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2022" file that is experiencing this issue.
