Retirement tax questions

I show income on line 8 of the 1040. That also shows up on the Schedule C. That is my only income except for dividends.  However, since my business expenses are more than my income, the amount on line 8 is a negative number.  TT says "It looks like you have a tax situation in your federal return that makes it ineligible for e-filing, according  to IRS rules. 

Here are the details:

Your Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is based on non-documented earned income."

I thought I read somewhere that the NEC is a new form and the IRS is not set up to handle it?  I talked to an agent yesterday (don't remember who) and when they went to check with another agent we got cut off.
