Here's how I was able to move forward.
Scenario - 4 separate Schedule C's as follows:
1) Income on W-2 Statutory from on Insurance carrier, box checked for statutory. Expenses are logged here.
2) 1099 income from a 2nd carrier. A small amount of income, no expenses.
3) 1099 income from a 3rd carrier. A small amount of income, no expenses.
4) 1099 misc - referral fee. A small amount of income, no expenses.
Only income from 1) could offset the expenses incurred.
All checks passed fine.
Upon electronic filing, entering payment information, etc, the program balked and went to check something, the 1st Schedule C. It complained you can't attach any 1099's to that schedule with Statutory income.
But I hadn't.
FIX: in this order.
1) Decouple the W-2 from the schedule C.
2) Delete the schedule C (keep a printout to re-enter data)
3) Create a new schedule C.
4) Associate W-2.
5) Add expenses.
I think adding expenses before linking the W-2 was the glitch.
