Do I need to add another form to my return. I file on a 1099 form. When I was going to e-file it rejected saying I had errors on 1040 form. $0 on multiple lines

Did you mean you receive a 1099 for your business? 

 

What do you mean by, "file on a 1099 form"?

A 1040 is the tax return form you prepare here to send to the IRS.   If you start entering data in this software you are preparing a Form 1040.   Please look at it so you will know what you are sending to the IRS:

What kind of 1099 did you get?  1099NEC, 1099R, 1099Misc, 1099B etc.  if you have zero income why do you need to file?  You can add $1 of bank interest to let you Efile.  Add a fake 1099INT.  It won't affect your return.
