My return is calling for form 7205 even though I’m not taking a credit and it won’t allow me to file without it?

Qualified business entities and individuals use Form 7205 to:

• Calculate and claim the deduction under section 179D for qualifying energy efficient commercial building property placed in service during the tax year;
• Identify yourself as a designer or the building owner;
• Provide information on the person performing the certification; and
• Provide information on the person completing the allocation.

If that does not apply to you, delete the form.

1. Sign in to TurboTax and open your return by selecting Continue or Pick up where you left off.
2. In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
4. Select Delete next to the form and follow the instructions.

But the problem is on row 27b, not the entire Schedule C, and thus I can't delete the Schedule C, but TurboTax won't allow me to delete the zero from the row 27b no matter how many times I tried.  Even reboot the PC won't work.

Delete Form 7205 - not the Schedule C.     You can delete the entry on the Schedule C Worksheet if you are using the desktop program.   It is the last item on the worksheet.  @NJPhil 

Same issue here. Using the desktop version and it will not allow me to file electronically without Form 7205. Form 7205 is not even listed in my forms list nor do I have a Schedule C for this LLC. 

This is a bug in the software that needs to be fixed. Cannot even find form 7205 anywhere in my forms list and I need to get my taxes filed. With the price of this software package, I should not have to deal with these types of frustrations.

The information needed in that form didn’t even apply to me. I was able to delete that on my return 

We are using online version and can't get around that form. We don't have a building.

Several users who have stated that they do not own or rent any real estate or property for business have reported that they were still being prompted to complete this form, and it was preventing e-filing.

Users encountering this situation have found the following solution works when using TurboTax Home and Business:

In Business Expenses, under Other Common Business Expenses, search the list and you will find "Energy Efficient Buildings". Select Update and delete the 0 amount or other amount that appears. This should resolve the issue.

Just want to confirm that this did in fact work for me. I had a zero in there and when I took it out, it stopped asking for the form. Thanks!

Delete the zero, don't put anything in the column, worked for me...

It would not let us remove the 0 on the line. Endless loop. Even deleted Schedule C and tried again same result.
This could be the result of using Turbo Tax vs others. 

Oh my gosh!!!!!  That WORKED!   THANK YOU so much!!!!!!!!!!

This is the only answer that worked. Thank you!!

You have to Right Click the area - then select "Overide" then you can delete the '0.'

I didn't have to 'right click the area' or 'select Override' to delete the '0' but I'm sure this depends on your computer and version of software. I'm using a MAC computer and TurboTax Deluxe (Fed + State) for desktop.

Life is a team sport. I have learned some computers you can modify on the form but on my PC laptop I needed to use the Worksheet. Winning!

If you are using the TurboTax online editions -

To delete the Form 7205

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen

Click on Tools

Click on Delete a form

Excellent.  Right clicking and then selecting override worked for filing 2024, using Premier.  Thank you.

I did that and override is greyed out

How?

Are you trying to delete Form 7205, @nyirishman1877 ?   If so, use the instructions below -

If it won't delete from there, go back to business expenses in the desktop product and delete the zero on the Energy Efficient Buildings screen in the Common Business Expenses section of TurboTax.    Leave the field blank.  

Thank you! I used Deluxe for 2024 reporting, and I had this error for the 1st time. Last year I used Home and Business.

When I tried to remove the zero from the Sch C, it still came back.

This time, I went to the forms for the Sch C worksheet, and removed it there for Line 27b, then quickly saved the whole return.

Finally, my e-file worked!!

I am totally lost ...

 what a stupid direction Intuit has gone into ... why not make it simple...

 I am just tempted to print the return and file a printed copy instead fooling around with  it. This time I used Premier instead of home and business as I don''t have any w2 forms or activity .../ does anyone have a solution .. that a lay-man can understand and go step-by-step to remove this idiotic requirement and then eFile?
