Smart Check Error

[RcSchultz]

Smart Check shows an error in Other expenses.  Please remove all preceding spaces or invalid characters.  Not sure what the color scheme is showing. Row is blue.

You may inadvertently hit the space key in one or more of the entries. Go through each entry and backspace to the beginning of the field to clear the spaces.

Thanks,  I still don't understand the color scheme, blue,Pink and yellow. Show 4 errors in same place.

Sometimes this message happens if you had expenses in that category in a prior year but not this year.  The category transfers in from the prior year but there are not numerical entries. 

Please go into your Schedule C and check the Other miscellaneous expenses.  You may remember those expenses but if they are not valid this year, just backspace over the category.
