I own a small business (I self-published my 2012 book) but had $0 income or business activity in 2018. How do I enter that? TurboTax keeps prompting me to enter income.

I didn't close the business -- I hope to write and sell books in the future. I'm simply trying to wrap up my tax return by showing that for 2018, my business was essentially dormant.

If you have no income or expenses you would not need to report anything for the dormant business as a sole-proprietor.

That doesn't help -- when I report $0 income, TTax keeps returning me to a page saying: "Looks like we need more info. Even if you don't do the book publishing (non e-books) work anymore or if this work doesn't apply to you, you still need to update this info to keep your return accurate." I'm stuck in an endless loop. How do I proceed?
