@amandaca97 OK, then there must be a Schedule E still in your return if you are getting this error.   Go to the Rentals & Royalties section and remove the Schedule E shown on the Summary screen.  

Box 2a must have the same amount as box 1.  Entering a zero in box 2a could cause problems.  What I suggested was changing the amount that you had entered as the amount that was transferred to charity to see what effect it had on Schedule A line 11, if any.

Delete the Schedule E for royalty income.   Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen Click on Tools Click on Delete a form   Note - There may be multiple pages of your tax return forms and schedules so click on the page number or right arrow (>) shown at the bottom of the federal tax return forms.

When you have a child that qualifies for a Trump Account, you don’t enter the information for the form until you are filing your return. TurboTax will ask after you have entered account information because it’s not a part of your tax return.   Resources: What are Trump accounts?

This has been reported and is working its way through the system.    However, and this is a personal opinion, it is unlikely to be fixed before April 15th, just because the deadline is so close.   So you can file now and expect to amend the state when the issue is addressed, or file an extension for the state now, and keep watching to see when the issue is addressed so you can do the original filing later. Of course, as you know, your Arkansas tax is due in either case on April 15th, so if you are filing the Arkansas extension, make sure that you have a good idea of what your eventual Arkansas tax will be so you can pay it with the extension.

If you are filing as Married Filing Jointly you must enter her Social Security benefits income.   To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099 Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business) Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security On Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099), click the start or update button

Yes, you still report the Airbnb income even without a 1099, and you can deduct ordinary and necessary expenses against it. The IRS requires reporting all income regardless of forms received.   You report it on either Schedule E (rental), and deduct things like cleaning, fees, supplies, and a portion of utilities/mortgage tied to the rental.  Follow the directions below: 1. Go to the Federal section, then select Wages & Income. 2. Scroll down to Rental Properties and Royalties (Schedule E) and select Start or Edit. 3. Enter your Airbnb rental income as gross receipts. 4. Add any related expenses (cleaning, maintenance, supplies) to reduce taxable income.  

I had entered 0 in the taxable amount, rather than the taxable amount, so it assumed it was not taxable to begin with so no need to consider it a QCD - thus adding it to the Sch A Charitable amount.  Thank you for suggesting to look at the TurboTax worksheets! 

The warning sign means that something’s still not finished. Either the return isn’t finalized yet, or the File section hasn’t been completed, even if you enter your bank account information.   To Fix this: Go to the Federal Review section, then click Review and resolve all flagged issues. Go to the File Section, then select E-file.    In the Payment Method section, select Direct Debit or Electronic Funds Withdrawal and enter your bank account/routing numbers there. Remember that direct debit is only available if you choose to e-file. It’s not available for the file by mail option.
