Software Error with form 7205

I did find the reference on line item 20 of form 1065.  It is set to zero as it should be; however, the software is forcing a form 7205 to be filled out to be able to electronically file.  Since this is set to 0 - there is no form 7205 generated to delete.  I did reenter line item 20 at 0, and save the return and reattach signature sheet, but still cannot e-file.

That happened to me too. I went back and took out the 0 and now it is going through.

I found the answer in another form of the question about Form 7205. You must blank the Energy Efficient Buildings line 27b entry in the Step by Step form in the Business Income and Deductions. An entry of 0 causes Turbo Tax to think you are using Form 7205.

This error is bogus. Cannot be e-filed without this form that doesn't apply.

 

I printed one out, scanned it and attached with e-file. 

Turbo Tax is ridiculous.

Can't enter anything on line 27b in the schedule C form view. Have to go to the worksheet where the last question is the energy efficient building question and the field is prefilled with "0.". Just delete it here and the issue goes away.

Thanks to the last poster, deleting from the worksheet did it! Turbotax should have fixed this long ago, very frustrating.
