Can't e-file

I am a minister who makes quarterly payments (1040-ES).

 

On my W2, Box 13 is checked — statutory employee, both on my physical W2 and in TurboTax.

 

I have not claimed any business expenses.

 

When I try to file, I get an error message: "Form W2 (my W2): Link Schedule C must be entered to link to Schedule C.

 

If I look at the Forms tab, it is all greyed out. There are no forms to select.

 

I have deleted my W2 and gone through the process of reentering everything. I've gone through my W2 and looked at the various questions following it. I'm not seeing a solution.

 

I've been using TurboTax for years now, and I have not had a problem before. Please help!

A statutory employee must file a schedule C. I can not figure out why a minister would be doing this. Please see What is a statutory employee?

The schedule C allows you to claim your employee expenses.

I wonder if you need to upgrade to get the C to show.
