Based on the error message, it sounds like something was entered for an educator expense for your spouse, but based on your filing status you should not have a spouse.
Whether or not you have entered any qualified educator expenses, try going to that section of your return to see if there is a value entered there that can be deleted. Use the following steps:
- On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
- This opens a box where you can type in “educator expenses deduction” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
- The search results will give you an option to “Jump to educator expenses deduction”
- Click on the blue “Jump to educator expenses deduction” link and delete any information you find there
