State tax filing

The reason why the program won't let you efile is you have no taxable income to report after you took your exclusion. I have a solution that may work in the meantime so you can electronically file. Let me know if this works.

  1. Go to federal>income and expenses>all income>>show more 
  2. Less Common Income> Start
  3. Miscellaneous Income,>start
  4. Other reportable income>start
  5. Next screen asks Any Other Taxable Income>yes
  6. The next screen will allow you to report the income with a brief explanation. Enter $100 worth of income and give it an explanation such as Incidental Income.  This won't affect your tax return but may allow you to electronically file.
  7. Let me know one way or another if this works for you.
