Hi Monika, I was curious at what point the empty Schedule C appears while working on my return. I tracked it down: it happens when I enter 1099-MISC information from Coinbase for my staking income. After answering all the related questions, TurboTax automatically creates a Schedule C, even though no business activity exists. My question: can this be avoided, for staking income reported on a 1099-MISC? Thanks.  

Do you mean Premium?  Underneath your question it shows you are using Online TurboTax.  If you're instead using desktop Premier, we can address the steps for that.   But this is for Online Premium:   With the return open, go to the left menu column and click on TAX TOOLS, then the subtab TOOLS. In the Tools Center choose the blue button Topic Search. In the topic search line enter the phrase estimated tax payments without quotes. Make the selection in the list (it may already be highlighted), and either double-click it or click the GO button. Next screen is Estimates and Other Income Taxes Paid. Expand the section Estimated Tax Payments. Choose the appropriate category and tax year you are reporting (Federal, state, local) and click START or Revisit. NOTE:  Before filing, make sure your Federal estimated tax payments correctly show on the Form 1040, Line 26, and that any state estimated tax payments (if applicable) show up on your state return.

This is still an issue for Windows version on 2/27/2026...  An you can not file electronically with values overridden.  Only if your deduction is less than $600 MFJ, you do not need to attach form 1116.
