Can I insert values in Form 1040 like total income and adjusted gross income?

When I review, I get a message "not eligible for electronic filing" because lines in Form 1040 are empty like total income, AGI, tax etc. Can I fill them in?

You cannot insert amounts directly on Form 1040. Those lines are empty because you did not enter any income. If you had income, enter it and TurboTax will fill in those lines on Form 1040.


If you had no income, and did not receive Advance Premium Tax Credit for health insurance from the Marketplace, you are not required to file a tax return. If you want or need to file anyway for some reason, enter $1 of interest income in order to fill in the blank lines on Form 1040 and allow e-filing.

Did you enter any taxable income, such as a W-2 for wages or a Form 1099 for interest income, dividend income, retirement income, etc.?

 

Click on Federal on the left side of the online program screen.  Click on Wages & Income at the top of the screen.
