Form 8697

[jerryknip]

I have Turbo tax for business and use it for reporting my Corporation income tax.  I am ready to file however it says that I need to fill out form 8697.    Why does the program not include form 8697  Interest computation under look-back method of completed long term contracts.  I have no long term contracts or even short term.  Why did it say audit was complete and no issues found in my return?

Please help because it will not allow me to E-file without form 8697

It was complete for the scope of forms TurboTax covers, but this form is still necessary for a complete tax return submission. TurboTax does not support Form 8697. Please see this link for more details: Which IRS Form are not included in TurboTax?

What I can not understand according to the program it says I have a value entered into look back field.

since this has a value in it requires that I file form 8697.

I have no contracts that would require me to enter a value and in looking through all the forms the only value entered in the look back field is 0.

I would like to know why this is happening.

TurboTax does not support Form 8697. 

Are you able to remove the 0 and leave that field blank rather than entering zero?
