I'm encountering the same issue. Have tried everything listed. This is so frustrating!!! no help or support and endless circle for this stupid Rental Royalty from hell. Is this a ploy to get us to pay extra for support?

Please clarify what error you are trying to resolve. What have you entered and where?

This is an old thread that may not have updated information for your situation.

I do not have any rentals or royalties. Smart check keeps trying to force me to put a property type on Schedule E. I have tried to delete the form and it won't let me. HELP

TracyD71 · ‎April 9, 2023

see my message below. I do not have royalties or rentals and Smart Check keeps wanting information in the property description field. I don't have any property that I rent

Have you entered any Forms 1099? If so, you may need to delete your entry under the 1099 topic.

Also consider other sources of income that you've entered other than W-2 wages.

If SmartCheck presents you with a subform to complete, scroll down to see if you recognize the income that's been added to the form.

Several posts on this thread have instructions for removing income and/or forms that may be causing this SmartCheck message.

Just got off the phone with an assistant in regard to the same thing, at the very top where it's asking that - delete the 0 and click continue.

Blank > 0

Yes, removing the "0" in smartcheck and leaving that blank cleared it for me, thanks!!

I was stuck in the described killer loop trying to e-file and being told to fix the royalty income on my schedule E worksheet. After an hour of different combinations, this one worked: delete the value depicting "0" in the prompt AND in the worksheet/form. Repeated for State and Federal. Problem cleared. Smart check complete. E-file complete.
