Yes, you can resolve that error, by deleting the Educator Expenses Worksheet. This may be a form that carried forward from a prior year.

If you are using TurboTax Online:

Open your return, scroll down to Tax Tools on the bottom of the left side menu.
Select Tools.
Click on Delete a form (third on the list at the bottom of the screen).
Find Educator Expenses Worksheet on the list of forms.
Click Delete to the right.
Confirm your Delete.
Scroll down and check for an Educator Expenses Worksheet under your state return.
Click Delete to the right.
Confirm your Delete.

If this doesn't resolve the issue, please respond back and let us know which state you are filing, so we can look into this further.

I'm having the same problem. I did not enter any educator expenses on either my federal or state return, yet I keep getting an Educator Smart Wks Ln B-SP error message. In addition there is no form related to educator expenses listed under either my federal or state return. I'm located in Virginia.

I found the site, but the Educator Expenses Worksheet was not listed. I am filing in Virginia.

I am having the same issue - also in Virginia. When I went to the forms, it was not even on there to delete. Maybe just a glitch? Hopefully they fix it soon.

Seems like there are lots of threads of VA folks reporting this same issue - someone on the thread I started about this issue had heard that Turbotax had told them that it's a system error and will be resolved by "Monday evening," so I'm assuming that's 2/13? Who knows, but needless to say this is a massive headache for everyone trying to e-file in VA

I am in VA as well and getting the same error message. Go through tools and its not listed in either the federal or state forms. Guess this is an on going problem for VA.
