I deleted the form and reentered all the data. Fortunately for me, this wasn't much, I had the same problem on a different form and this was the only solution that worked. This was after i unmarked all items marked as estimated, but this one was still causing the error.

I'm having this same problem. In fact, its one of the things that caused me to apply for an extension to file. I'm not yet to the point of deleting the form and completing it all again, but it is very frustrating.

There is an option to uncheck estimated in the "edit" tab (next to file). I figured it out for my child's SS# after waiting 30 mins on the phone.

This issue of having to delete/recreate a form due to Error Check incorrectly believing that something is marked Estimated has become a MAJOR nuisance over the last few years (I've used TT for nearly 20 years). It either specifies some internal variable name, or no variable or field name. I have contacted TT support, and this forum, and the only solution has been to delete/recreate the problem form(s).

This year it happened with TT Business on 1 form, and with TT Home & Business on 2 forms. With TT Business, the form was the basic company info worksheet, which TT would NOT allow me to delete, so I had to start a new return and re-import my data from scratch. That was fun. This is getting very frustrating.

I had the same problem on the "Hdeduc" form (Medical Wks). Printed out the form, deleted it from my return, then added it back in and entered all the data over. I recommend you make a back-up file of the whole return BEFORE you delete the form, just in case it screws up something else.

In case somebody else is having this problem with Cygeninc.

I was considering deleting the form and adding it back, but instead I did the following (in step by step view)

1. went to business income.

2. Chose walk me through everything

3. On business Income and Expenses I selected Update

4. On the Company with the problem I selected Edit

5. Clicked update on Business Profile (didn't change anything and I don't think this is necessary, but this is what I did), clicked continye

6. Clicked on Update next to Import Business Information

7. Selected Enter my business info myself, then continue

This fixed the Cygeninc problem. When I went to review and did a test I had no more errors Yeah.

Hope this helps somebody else.

I get the same error using TurboTax/Business (CD Version). I have no idea what "cygeninc" is - it has nothing to do with my taxes...and the fact that others are getting this error message it seems like this my be a software bug in TurboTax.

It is complaining about my Schedule C - but again...no where anywhere in my taxes does anything refer to "cygeninc".

I searched my notes and found this.....

The error "Cygenic is estimated" can occur when a prior year Schedule C has an item estimated. When the return is transferred to the next year the estimated item will come along in the background of the file.

There are several things to try:

1) If you have just started your return you can go back to the prior year, locate the estimated item(s), delete it, then retransfer the file.

2) If you've already done work in the file change to Forms.. In "Forms in My Return" choose Schedule C then click the red Errors icon. Look for an expense item in RED. Right click on that item and delete the estimated amount.

3) If you are unable to locate and clear the error, please contact Support using the link below. The agent can screen share with you and, if needed, request a diagnostic copy of your file for further review. Contact Customer Service M-F 5AM-5PM Pacific time https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact/

This occurs in the desktop program when you have form transferred in from a prior year return that had supporting details attached to it. The example below references a medical expense entry, but it also occurs on Schedule C, Miscellaneous Expenses (in Part V of the Schedule C). You go go into Forms mode and find the error on the Form by selecting the Schedule C and then clicking on Errors or scrolling down to Part V. Usually, the error can be found on the Schedule C WKS - in the Miscellaneous Expenses section.

You may have supporting forms from last year in there preventing you from entering this year's data. Sometimes (if you transferred in a previous year's tax return), a $0 gets stuck on line items that had supporting detail information attached and you can't edit it. You can into Forms mode and erase that detail or fix it from the interview mode. When you click on EDIT next to the medical expense entry spot and see a $0 that you can't edit, there are 2 things you can do:

Double click in the field and use the Red X (Remove) to remove the supporting details worksheet. or
Go to the top Edit menu (Windows versions only) and choose Add Supporting Details. Then click on the Red X (Remove) at the top.

Either one of these should allow you to enter your expenses. @sjmiracle
