Form 2210 is used for underpayment penalty of estimated tax. What problems are you having with the form? See the following information for assistance:   How do I add Form 2210?   What is Form 2210?   To delete your Schedule C, there are some different options depending upon whether you operated the business in a previous tax year and need to indicate the business is no longer operating or if you entered it mistakenly. Steps to Remove a Schedule C Business: Update Business Profile: Go to the "Business" tab, select "Update" next to your business, and under the business profile section, indicate that the business ceased operations. Dispose of Assets: If you had assets, indicate they were sold or converted to personal use. Delete the Form (If Necessary): If the form persists, go to Tax Tools > Tools > Delete a Form and remove the Schedule C. @Tmoran160 

Try deleting the input in the zip code field and then manually re-entering it. There could be a stray character or space that is causing the issue. Please see where do I enter my 1099-R for guidance on getting back to the retirement section.   @Melissa1212 

You received an email that we cannot see that tells you why your tax return was rejected.   Some rejected returns can be fixed and re-filed.  Some have “un-fixable” reasons for the rejection and have to be mailed instead.    What is the rejection code or rejection message?     If it was rejected for AGI—-your 2024 AGI might not be in the IRS system if you filed late.   Try using zero instead.   If filing with zero is rejected then file again but select the option that you did not file last year.  The IRS does not see that question and it will allow you to e-file with no AGI question.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/agi/help/where-do-i-correct-my-agi-in-turbotax-online/00/26311   If that does not work and you still cannot e-file, then print, sign, and mail your tax return.      

If you were self-employed, any sales of the business practice would be reported on Schedule C Profit or Loss from Business (Sole Proprietorship).   If the sale was due to an exit of a business relationship in a Partnership or S-Corp, then those entities would be reporting you share of profits, losses, income items, asset sales, etc. on the Form K-1 they would issue you once they complete their business tax return.   The topic of business asset sales can be complicated, but handing your taxes off to a TurboTax expert can make this process much easier for you.  Click here for more information on TurboTax Full Service.  If you didn't fill with TurboTax Full Service last year, there is a limited time offer to file your return for $150, if you file by 3/18/26.  Offer details are included in the link.

Try these options to fix your Drivers' License issue: Double check that you are not entering the expiration date on the issued date, and vice versa.  Make sure the date is entered in the following format (MM/DD/YYYY) Remove any extra spaces. Make sure that there are no extra spaces. You can also try to clear your Cache and Cookies and re enter your driver’s license number.  

The home office deduction is available to qualified self-employed taxpayers. Does your 1099-MISC require you to report the income on a Schedule C for self-employed? If so, the home office deduction is found with other common business expenses in your business income and expense section of TurboTax.   Where do I enter the home office deduction for my business?   If you are self-employed, see the article below to determine if you qualify for the deduction.   The Home Office Deduction   @drmusedeb 

The software works fine. It seems like you made an excess contribution if you are charged the 6% penalty.  Please verify that you have taxable compensation to make the IRA contribution.   If you do have an excess contribution then you need to remove the excess plus earnings by the due date to avoid the 6% penalty. Please make sure you request the withdrawal of excess contribution plus earnings with your financial institution. The earnings will be taxable in the year the contribution was made.   @Ben19381  

I would suggest contacting your employer, or payroll department.  Have them confirm if there was a change to the EIN.   In the absence of any other information, use the number from last year. If your return is rejected because of the EIN, use the other number.
