Help!!  The Online version of TurboTax keeps looping on  

Schedule C (Rideshare Driving) - Schedule C Worksheet: Amount - Misc Exp Other must be entered.

Amount - Misc Exp Other...

 

I've entered 0, 100, 1000 and it keeps looping. It did this last year, too. I finally gave up and had to actually mail in both my Fed and State tax forms.  Yuck.

Is there any way around this?


In the desktop version I know how to correct things in the Sched C, Part V "other misc expenses" section by comparing the Sched C Worksheet to the actual Sched C and correcting anything on the Sched C Worksheet.   However, Online TurboTax does not have Forms Mode.

 

A problem in that Sched C, Part V, section often arises from something that transferred in from last year.  So there could be an item showing on Sched C that does not have a value for it.    I don't know where you are trying to make the entry.    If you are trying to do it in a popup "error check" page, instead go to the online Schedule C interview, and walk through the "other miscellaneous expenses" section and see if there is a line item that populated from last year without a value or any other item that might be there by mistake.   If you need that item, try reentering the value there.    If you see a line item in that section that you don't need on this return, then delete the item description to hopefully fully remove it.

 

I'll also see if one of the TurboTax Experts has anything to add.  @ DawnC  are you familiar with correcting Sched C "other miscellaneous expenses" in the Online version that may have transferred in from last year, or something else that may have created a value-less entry?  Thanks!
