Please clarify your question.

Unfortunately, we can't see your tax return to to evaluate your problem. I'll have to ask you a couple of questions.

What form are you working on?
Are you entering the form, or is it a form that is created?

Please contact us again with any additional questions or to provide some additional details.

If you are using the desktop, go to Forms, find the Schedule C Wks and delete the zero from line 27b on the worksheet. It is at the very bottom of the worksheet. The error will clear.

Did you see the post by DawnC with the screenshot? Were you able to delete the entry in TurboTax for Desktop using Forms Mode?

Did you ever get this resolved? The same thing is happening to me filing my 2024 taxes if have tried all the suggestions but none of them work and I can’t get rid of that zero. Thanks

In your Schedule C, under Business Expenses, search the list for "Energy Efficient Buildings". Select Update and delete the 0 that appears. This should resolve the issue.

If you delete the zero for Schedule C Line 27b and still can't clear Review, you may need to delete the Schedule C Worksheet in order to proceed. When you make an entry on that line, TurboTax looks for the accompanying Form for that issue.

To delete a form in TurboTax Online:

Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
In the left menu, select "Tax Tools" and then "Tools".
In the pop-up window Tool Center, select "Delete a form".
Select "Delete" next to "Schedule C Worksheet" if it appears, and follow the instructions.
