Cannot e-file due to zero values on form 1040. I live in the UK and dont earn money in the states - help!

[Rachel_Seese]

I have filed tax returns every year for the past 4 years in the UK where I am also a citizen and solely live and work. It is telling me that I cannot e-file as a number of lines on my 1040 are zero values - this has never been an issue and I cannot now submit!

Try entering $1 of interest.  Make up a fake 1099INT.

Hi thanks, 

I have seen this suggested but cannot even see on turbo tax where I would enter this!
