How can I removed qualified educator expenses (from federal Educator Expenses Worksheet, Line 1) on my Virginia state tax return?

I'm getting an error on my Virginia tax form - "Deductions Statement: Educator Smart Wks Ln B-SP should not have a value based on your filing status.." and then it asks me to fill out an empty text box next to "Educator Smart Wks Ln N-SP." I'm not an educator, so not even sure why this is coming up. How do I remove this from my state tax return?
