E-FILE NOT ALLOWED WITH A SCHEDULE C WITH A LOSS

Turbotax says I can not e-file because of forms in my return. 

 

I have 2 w-2s and a schedule c loss.

 

If I remove the Schedule C. The e-file wizard proceeds.

E-FILE NOT ALLOWED WITH A SCHEDULE C WITH A LOSS

If you are unable to proceed in TurboTax with a Schedule C on the return, it may be that you have a TurboTax product that is not designed to prepare a complete Schedule C. If you use Deluxe, for example, you can report income from self-employment but not all expenses. The full Schedule C can only be found in Turbo Tax Self-Employed for online users, or Home and Business for desktop/download product users.

 

See this TurboTax Tips article for more information on preparing returns with Schedule C.

 

If there are forms in your return that aren't yet available for e-filing, such as some state returns, you can find out using this tool. Choose Individual and either Federal or the correct State to see a list of forms and whether they are available for e-filing, or the projected available date.

E-FILE NOT ALLOWED WITH A SCHEDULE C WITH A LOSS

I t does not matter if you have a profit or a loss. When a schedule C is added the program does not let you proceed. NO one has answered why. Turbo Tax is hiding behind the guise that we have to wait.  This is a problem with their software and it has to be fixed so that we can file our taxes which is why we purchased their product.

This is not true. I have used TurboTax for many years. I have always been self-employed and I have always used TurboTax. I even upgraded from basic to deluxe for $30. Nothing. It is a problem with TurboTax. It is not a problem of wether IRS has opened or not either. I hope you get this resolved quickly. People are becoming anxious and want answers.
