Can’t e-file schedule C

Rb103 — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 09:51:28 GMT

I have the TurboTax Deluxe disc and I’m unable to e-file my return. I have a w-2 and business income and expenses. When I go to e-file it says that some forms can’t be efiled but it doesn’t tell me which forms.

s. Click Review to see if you are missing some forms needed in order to e-file.

Many federal and state forms are not yet available. Check here for form availability. The dates are subject to change.

Tax form availability tool,

No hurry to e-file since the IRS will not begin to accept/reject 2023 e-files until January 29. And….a state return cannot be accepted until after the IRS accepts your federal return.

Thank you for responding. I checked the review and it doesn’t show me which forms. When I deleted my schedule C information then I am able to e-file, but according to the tax availability tool Schedule C is available. I even tried to update the disc but it says it’s up to date.

Out of curiosity, why does it matter which form can't be filed? One or more can't be filed yet, so you need to wait.

Because according to TurboTax the forms that I am using are available and ready to e-file.

I am having the same issue. You are the first person to post about it. So glad it's not just me. Still don't know when this will be resolved.

Thanks for posting

You are not the only one. I am having problem with schedule C and when I delete the information on one of the lines it will file it. They must have a glitch in the system or have not issued the update.

Thank you. Please post any useful update to this issue that you find and I will do the same.

I might also add that I am using the HOME & BUSINESS version , not DELUXE. This would suggest that the issue is not exclusive to only the DELUXE version. Just FYI.

I have been combing through the internet and the only thing I can find is that e-fiing for individual tax through intuit does not start until Jan. 29th. My only issue with this is that when I delete the Sch C file it looks as if it will let me e-file now which is confusing. I will post a screen shot (web link did not work) below to the page that seems to confirm the Jan.29th date.

@eddie epic

The screenshot you posted is for the PROFESSIONAL tax programs which have different dates then the TT program.

In TT click on the REVIEW tab to see what is holding you up and when it may be released.

I have the same problem. I am self employed and I am not able to efile. Although everything is correct. Do I just need to wait? Is there a fix to this. I had Turbo Tax basic, I upgraded to deluxe for $30 more dollars. It does not work. As long as I have the schedule c attached it will not allow me to efile. In the rev iew tab it does not show anything and nothing has been over ridden. This is a problem with your software that needs to be fixed soon so that I can efile my taxes

Thanks for posting. As you can see I am active on this post. In my last post I expressed where I am currently with this situation. I am hoping that we are waiting for an update to fix this issue. I would add that some schedule C efile attempts where able to be done several days ago but around the 18th is when this issue started. I also know that the IRS has changed the efile date to the 29th. It was an earlier date before. Please come back if you get it resolved as I will do the same.

Thank you

Thanks for posting. I posted the screenshot just to show that e-file dates have changed according to the IRS regardless of the program you use. I use home&business but I think this is irrelevant as we have people here with various versions having the same issue. Hitting review does not expose any more clarity and just runs you back in a circle towards attempting to file. I have thoroughly checked and all my forms are ready for print and efile. This is likely an update issue through intuit. I do appreciate you jumping in and trying to help. I hope I was clear and not to be argumentative.

Thank you Critter

Has any of you been successful filing with a Schedule C? I'm having the same issue, Turbo Tax Deluxe desktop. I got updates this morning and still can't e-file. Thanks!

Same issue here trying to file a schedule C and two W2s. The schedule C is preventing me from efiling. If anyone gets any additional info please update the thread! Thanks.
