I entered zero but it says the field should be blank. I keep updating it to be be blank but it is not accepting the correction?

Try closing TurboTax, then clear your Cache and Cookies. If you need to Edit a K-1, Box 20 entry, do so in your Federal return.

Proceed through the State Interview again and see if the entry has been corrected at the state level.

Box 20 issues can be tricky, depending on what your business is and what you are trying to report.

I deleted the cooking and cached but I'm still having this problem. I left it blank and its still telling me to fix it.

@Arwaa

Could you try to change the browser you are using to see if that resolves the issue? If not, I would suggest contacting TurboTax Customer Support for further assistance.

Go to the State Taxes tab.

Go to the Credits and Taxes section.

Under Business and Investment Credits, select Pass-Through Entity Elective Tax Payment Credit.

Make sure the box on the first page is empty.

Select Continue.

Turbo Tax needs to fix their code so that this may be edited directly from the error check tool.
