Sch E Worksheet - Asset Entry Worksheet error says Home Sale Worksheet Link s/b blank, but it won't let me blank out that field. How do I delete this field?

[MarilynG · Accepted solution]

In the Rental Section, be sure to uncheck the box in Property Profile that says you 'sold or disposed this property'.

You can also go to Tax Tools >Tools > Delete a form and delete the Home Sale Worksheet from your return.

I ended up having to contact the CPA support staff, which went extremely well.  But this answer was similar to what the CPA did.

I followed both suggestions ... once i did the 2nd part Tax Tools >Tools > Delete a form and delete the Home Sale Worksheet from your return  - The error cleared from my Federal Review.

I am having the same issue, but I sold my rental property in August of this year for a loss.  Should I still delete the homesale worksheet?

I have the same issue, however I did sell it so why would I uncheck the box or delete the worksheet?

I had to call their customer service to walk through the issue. We had to change one thing which fixed it. We've always used TurboTax programs - this was the first time using the online platform. It is awful...even their CPAs said it's so difficult and clunky.

Tax tools>Tools>Delete Home Sale Worksheet worked for me

- What was the one thing that fixed it?

I had the same issue, here is what worked for me.

I had a rental property which I sold during the tax year. I did not sell my primary residence.

I went to: 

Federal>Less Common Income>Sale of Home (gain or loss)>Revisit, and deleted the sale of the property. That makes sense since the property sold is a rental, and not a primary residence.

All other calculations are unchanged. I got rid of the Schedule E worksheet error and I can e-file.

Good luck.
