improper entry on self employed business form

Turbotax insists on making an entry on the self employed business form in spite of the fact that I have no business and make no entries on the business section of income section. I can't pass the final check because it says there is an error on it.  This form shouldn't even be part of my tax package.

improper entry on self employed business form

If you had self-employment income from a 1099-MISC in the prior year, it would have been carried over to this year's return as a 1099-NEC. For 2020, nonemployee compensation on the prior year Form 1099-MISC is now reported on Form 1099-NEC. You can delete this from your return. If you did not have a 1099-MISC in the previous year, then please also delete the Schedule C from your return. 

  1. Open your return in TurboTax.
  2. Search for Schedule C with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page.
  3. Select the Jump to Schedule C link in the search results.
  4. If you get to a self-employment summary screen, delete the self-employment income line with the trash can icon.
  5. If you get to the question Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? answer No
  6. Search for 1099-NEC with the magnifying glass tool at the top of the page.
  7. Click on the Jump to 1099-NEC link at the top of the search results. 
  8. Delete any 1099-NEC's entries with the trash can icon. 

In addition, please make sure to delete any Schedule C/ Schedule SE on your return.

  1. Click on Tools.
  2. Click on Delete a Form
  3. Scroll down to your forms and look for forms you need to remove (Schedule C/Schedule SE) and click Delete
