Error due to Form 3800

When I filed my Return (2024), it was rejected because of error due to 3800, page 9

Two doubts:

1. I did not have any business income in 2024.In earlier years, I used to get a K1 from an S corporation. The investments were sold in 2023 and duly accounted  (loss). Why does TurboTax (TT) create a Form 3800 this year

2. The error message (when I tried to file the Return this year), also said to wait till March 27. Any particular reason? Is the software being rectified?

3. If I merely delete the Form 3800, will it create any error.

 

Thanks in advance

This form issue has been identified and is expected to be resolved by Friday March 27, 2025. Since updates are released at midnight, we recommend waiting until the next day to open TurboTax, accept updates (if using TurboTax for Desktop), and try to e-file again.

 

It's possible you had a carryover business credit from the S-Corp. Does the information on Form 3800 Page 9 provide an explanation for the credit?

Thanks for the response.

 

Will try on the 28th and see if the issue gets resolved. As of now, Page 6 (of Form 3800) does not give any explanation.

My TurboTax software (Desk top) did suggest I wait till the 27th and try again (or else print the Return and mail it to IRS).

 

Thank you. I hope the issue will be resolved.
