  • Go into Forms Mode.
  • In the left column choose the Schedule C Worksheet (not the Sched C itself).  It may be abbreviated "Sch C wks".
  • On the Schedule C Worksheet scroll down to the miscellaneous expenses section (other, Part V).  Edit that section (if needed) to reflect your current miscellaneous expenses.  Something may have transferred in from last year that you don't need this year so it keeps asking  you for a value.
  • Once you have cleaned up that section on the Schedule C Worksheet, then look at the step-by-step interview at the "other miscellaneous expenses" section to be sure it is correctly reported there as well with no duplications, etc.; i.e., that it flowed correctly from the worksheet to the interview.

Again, do not edit that section on the Schedule C itself.   If you try, the values may not stick or may not transfer correctly to the interview.  Editing can be performed on the Sch C Worksheet and then verified that it then matches the interview.
