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?

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

[nyirishman1877]

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?

Oh, I have a feeling that it is another way for them to make money!

Print the IRS Form 7205. Write across the top your name and social/EIN, whichever applies. Write in big letters under your name, this form is not applicable to you. Put a big N//A across the form, sign and date at the bottom. There is not a signature request, but it's always good to sign it and date it to prove it's legit.

Print IRS Form 7205. Fill out the top- name and social/EIN, whichever applies. Underneath write, "This form is not applicable to me." Under the remaining, put a large N/A to cover the page. Sign and date at the bottom, even though it doesn't require those two things. It's better to sign and date so there is no questions on it's legitimacy. Unfortunately, you will have to print your taxes out, attach Form 7205, and mail your taxes in to the address on Turbo Tax cover page when you print out your return.
