Form 7205 TurboTax Business Desktop Error

I am on TurboTax Business Desktop 2023 and I cannot find the option for the Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction anywhere under Federal Taxes/Deductions. I have explicitly stated to TurboTax that I do now own or rent any real estate or property for business and I am still being prompted with the form. I am now trying to file and the program keeps telling me I need to attach the Form 7205. Any Idea what I should do next? Thank you for your time.

Form 7205 TurboTax Business Desktop Error

Solved:

I am using TurboTax Home and Business 2023 on a Mac

 

To solve this, I went to Business Expenses, the page where you enter in Advertising, Business Travel, etc. A little bit down on that list you will find "Energy Efficient Buildings". Select Update and delete the 0 amount. 

 

This is done in the "step by step" view of Turbo Tax, NOT in the Forms view.

 

This worked for me and I was able to e-file the Federal return.
