massachusetts tax form vs pdf difference

My massachusetts line 28, 32, 34 and 37 are  calculated as zero ( I qualify for no tax status). These appear as zero on the open turbotax forms. However in the saved PDF, the zeros disappear and there is blank space instead. Can I e file or should I print the PDF, write in the zeros and mail it in?

Yes, you can e-file.  You will want to ensure the oval remains checked when the form is printed.  The blank space indicates there is no value for the line.  Since the value is blank/zero, it is okay to go ahead and e-file the return.

It's so annoying when the Form says enter -0- but the tax software puts EMPTY.

@BrittanyS  I consider it a bug.
