TurboTax is not letting you file because you do not have any taxable income. If you are single, which is the lowest standard deduction amount, you would deduct $12,950 from your income. Since the number would be negative, there is no taxable income and nothing to file. You would have a $0 return which cannot be e-filed.
The exception to this would be if you had taxes withheld form your social security and were filing to claim a refund. However, this is not common.
