Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you can e-file your return. Since many people are in the same situation, the IRS has provided the following guidance:

In addition to all the other information required to be entered on Form 1040, a zero AGI filer must enter the following:

• $1 as taxable interest on line 2b;
• $1 as total income on line 9; and
• $1 as AGI on line 11

To do that in TurboTax:

1. Select Federal on the left side menu.
2. Select Wages and Income.
3. Scroll down, or expand the list and find Interest and Dividends.
4. Expand that section and find Interest on 1099-INT.
5. Click on Start to the right.
6. Answer the first question Yes.
7. Click Continue.
8. Click on Change how I enter my form in the lower right corner.
9. Select Type it in myself.
10. Fill in the first box with your banks name or "Interest".
11. Put 1 in box 1
12. Click Continue.
13. Select None of these apply, and click Continue.
14. Select Federal Review in the upper right corner.

At this point you should be able to e-file your federal and state returns.
