Can you please tell me the entry form to delete? Which one?

I had this error and fixed it - here's what happened to me.  I started with TT Deluxe and started on my personal return.  I later upgraded to TT Home and Business to help a family member file for their home-based business.  When I went back to finish my return, I received the same error you described.  I looked in "View" from the top toolbar - then looked at Forms.  I saw a Schedule C that I knew didn't belong.  I went back to the step-by-step and noticed that there was a new tab for "Business" in the top tabs. In there I found the Schedule C that was somehow added to my return.  To correct, I opened that tab, and the first section had a blank Schedule C, I just had to delete it.  To be safe, I "updated" all of the fields in that tab to be sure they were empty - and it worked, and I was able to electronically file.  Hope this helps you.

if you're filing a personal return, look for any forms not common for a personal return (such as a Schedule C).  See my previous reply in the general post of this thread regarding how I resolved this issue.

I gave up with TT a couple hours ago and went to FreeTaxUSA. It imported my TT info from last year so I just had to input the numbers from my failed TT Home And Business from today and was able to e-file with no problems and already got the accepted notification. Federal was free and only $14.95 for State. Never paying for TT again after 15 years of using it. I was going to try HR Block but it didn't support e-file for my state's homestead credit but FreeTaxUSA did.

Thanks for your attempt to help. Unfortunately, I do need to file a Schedule C. Therefore, I cannot delete it in order to e-file successfully.

I am waiting for TurboTax to provide a software update to correct this issue affecting numerous loyal customers.

Well, that would be fine if I didn't need to file a schedule C. But, unfortunately, a lot of us on this thread do.

so its 01/29 and still saying same thing.  i have rental property and a 1099NEC from doordash.  this is so frustrating i checked the irs website and they accepting electronic business forms so this is a TT ISSUE. I am so stressed because i have a 1099 for my property from the state so i have to file this but not waiting for mail.  think ill just try H&R BLOCK SOFTWARE and demand TURBOTAX GIVE ME A REFUND.

was talking to a TT person earlier. They said I have form 8936 in my list of forms. That form is for electric vehicle credit. I was told that form won’t be available until Feb 21st. I don’t even have an electric car though.

Nevermind.
