Solar Energy Credit Carryover

I can't complete my NYS return.  Message saying I have a solar energy credit carryover but I don't. I don't have any related tax forms to delete unless it's populated behind the scenes!  Turbo Tax says because of this It won't e-file but I can print and mail in my return, but I thought NYS only accepts e-filed returns? Please help!

To remove the Solar Energy Credit Carryover:

  1. Open your NY return and continue to the screen  Take a look at New York credits and taxes
  2. Scroll down to nonrefundable Credits and click start or Update
  3.  Make sure the boxes are blank. Don't enter 0. 

If that doesn't work, follow the instructions provided by AmyC  to delete the form Other Tax Credits and Taxes Worksheet'

Anyone know how to solve this issue?  The answer offered doesn't do it!  Also, does NYS allow for mail-in returns?  Responses are appreciated. Thanks.
