What income did you enter? It sounds like you did not enter any taxable income. If, for instance, your only income was Social Security, you are trying to send in a "zero" income tax return. You do not need to file the return -- or if you just really want to file it anyway, enter a bogus $1 of interest as income and it will let you e-file.
