Schedule C Line 27a

Al130 — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 23:43:10 GMT

I am running the review on my federal form. It is identifying Schedule C, Line 27a as an error and it will not let me advance. It has placed a 0 here as a credit for energy efficient building commercial buildings. I do not have any commercial building so I don't know why this is even showing up. I tried deleting the zero but it won't let me. I tried right-clicking on override but it won't let me do that either.

I have looked through the interview but can't figure out how this got here. What can I do to get rid of this mistake so I can finish my return? Thanks.

You can try entering a random number there besides $0 and then deleting it.

It won't allow me to enter a number to delete.

If you do not have any energy efficient commercial buildings deduction, try deleting Form 7205 which seems to be initiating this error.

Use the link below for your version of TurboTax to delete a form.

If you're using TurboTax Desktop software and need to delete a form, click here.

Form 7205: Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction," is used by building owners and designers to calculate and claim the Section 179D tax deduction. It documents energy-efficient improvements to commercial buildings, such as lighting, HVAC, or building envelope systems, placed in service during the tax year.

What is the energy efficient commercial building deduction, Form 7205?

Same issue for me, but There is no Form 7205 attached to my return, no means to delete anything, no reference to the form anywhere except on line 27a; yet I also get a zero autopopulated and no means to alter it.
