Why do I see Schedule K-1 for a Sole Proprietorship?

[Michael16]

I am operating a small business as a sole proprietor (no other employees other than myself), married filing jointly. After completing my income (all 1099s for the business) and deduction information (including Schedule C deductions), upon Smart Check of Personal Taxes, I get an error for Schedule K-1, S-Corporation Name. I do not see Schedule K-1 in the forms section of my return, but it is not my intent to file as an S-Corporation.

Why might I be seeing a Schedule K-1 when I'm wanting to file as a Sole Proprietor?

If you are filing Schedule C  (Business Profit & Loss) and did not file Form 1120S, you should delete Schedule K-1 since it appears you created this by mistake.

You can just delete the K-1(S) using these instructions:
