Solution here for program asking for farm income when you don't own a farm doesn't work

This screen in TurboTax Business can be accessed by selecting Business Info, then Farming.  

 

 

Select No unless you have previously cycled through this section.  If you have previously cycled through this section, you may have to select Yes and delete any entries that have previously been entered.

 

Critter3 is correct.  You are able to select FORMS in the upper right hand corner of the screen to activate FORMS view.  Click OPEN FORM in the upper left under the word TurboTax.  Enter 'schedule f' or perhaps '4835' and select Open Form.  If the form comes up, click Delete Form at the bottom of the page.

Interesting

The only tabs under Business Info are 'About Your Business'' and 'Shareholder Info'.  There are no questions in the 'About Your Business' about Farming.

I access Form View from the 'View' Tab on the upper left corner.

This strange.

Perhaps you are using the online version?  I have the desktop downloaded version. No?

I just added Form F and then deleted it.  No impact.

Be sure you are filing your farm business under the correct business structure.  If the only items under Business Info are About Your Business and Shareholder Info, you are using TurboTax Business to file a Form 1120S U.S Income Tax Return for an S-Corporation.  An S-Corp does not use Schedule F to report farm income, it merely treats the income as income and expenses of the business.

 

If you have not formed your farm as an S-Corp or have elected to have your LLC treated as an S-Corp for tax purposes, you are filing the wrong form.

Thanks Alicia.  Right on all counts.  This is an 1120S.  Sorry I didn't mention that earlier.  The point being is I never had Farm Income, never indicated I had Farm Income and can't find the 'switch' to turn off the silly messages saying that I had indicated earlier that I had Farming Activity.  This is something I saw doing last year's return, but this year it is popping up everytime I finish an entry.  I assume it is something that carried over from last year's return (also an 1120S).

There are a couple places you can check to be sure you don't have your return set up as a farming enterprise:

  • Under Business Info and About Your Business, scroll down to Type of Business and Product or Service Provided and verify your entries
  • Verify your entry for your Business Activity Code there as well

Type of Business =  Repair/Maintenance

Product or Service Provided = Car Repair

Business Activity Code = 811110

 

Nope, doesn't sound like Farming Activity to me...

Why don't you simply scroll on top where it shows Farming and when it asks if you had Farming activity, simply say no and let's see what happens. There must be some input under that screen that is triggering the error.

 

Good luck!
