I only have foreign income. I enter this only in section "Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion". Why is turbotax insisting that I have 0s on lines 6, 7, 11, 11a,12,15,18?

I only have foreign income. I therefore only enter income in the "Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion" section, as I obviously have no W2s. I enter my education and medical deductions as required.

At the first review, immediately after completing the Federal forms, all seems fine. However, after completing the State forms, at the final review, it suddenly says that I am not eligible for e-filing my Federal taxes due to some rule of the IRS and that I have 0's on several lines, which should not be there.

Why is turbotax insisting that I have 0s on lines 6, 7, 11, 11a, 12, 15, and 18? How can I possibly have a 0 on "Line 6 - Total Income" when I have clearly listed income?
