How to get past Smart Check? Schedule C keeps asking for a business name. No name differences but "Check" won't allow a blank line although form states leave blank.

At the very first page of your "Business Income and Expenses" section, the first question just below the title states two options for what your business name is. If you've accidentally chosen option 2 (which is stating that your business name is different than your own name) then the system will continue to require you to enter a name. Go back and make sure that you've made the correct selection there. That should resolve this issue for you.
