Error: Line 1f: W2 Statutory cannot be reported....

I keep getting this message when I run the smart check:

 

Schedule C (teaching): Line 1f: W2 Statutory cannot be reported on the same Schedule C as other business income. Either remove any amount entered for statutory employee income or unlink the W-2 worksheet from this copy of Schedule C and link it to a difference Schedule C.

 

My husband has a W2. I have a 1099-NEC. I did not check box 13 for "statutory employee." I have tried deleting and reentering both the W2 and 1099-NEC. The message keeps appearing. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

This could be because there is a that is sticking to the return. Since you are using Turbo Tax online:

  1. Go to tax tools>tools>delete a form
  2. In the forms, look under Schedule C and see if there is a W2 worksheet linked to your Schedule C. Delete it if it is there.
  3. If no W2 wks, see if there are two Schedule C wks listed. If so, delete the one that says statutory wages in parenthesis. If there is no clear distinction between the two, you may need to delete both.
