I have reviewed the file you sent. Thank you! I found this error to be resolved in two ways~
Option 1: Enter 0, which you were saying did not appeal to you since income was earned during that time frame. The 0 would be ok in that it is the amount you wish to calculate any deferral, but I understand your point.
Option 2: In your case, TurboTax calculates that you are not eligible by entering 279/365ths of your income. (percentage for days of the year Mar-Dec)
Therefore, enter the percentage of income applied pro rata. In your case, this should result in the conclusion that you are not eligible and let you continue.
In TurboTax Online, prompt the Federal Review which will generate the error. Adjust the value of income attributable to March 27-Dec 31 (280/366ths of your self-employed income) from the Check this Entry section.
In TurboTax CD/Download, follow these steps:
- Go to the Forms mode, scroll in the left menu to Sch SE-T.
- Scroll down to Line 18 and enter 280/366 of your self-employed income.
- Return to the Step-by-Step and run the Review again.
