Turbotax won't let me delete my schedule C that I thought I needed to fill out (didn't make enough money) won't let me e-file-keeps prompting me to fill it out?

I deleted it under income but continues to prompt me when trying to file.

Did you also delete the 1099 form that is populating the Sch C ?

If you got a 1099-NEC then the income needs to be reported on the return even if it was for only $1. If the amount is $400 or less you can put it on the Sch 1 line 8 otherwise you must use the Sch C. If you have expenses to enter against this SE income then you must use the Sch C.

You can view your fees by clicking on the "Tax Tools" option on your left menu bar, then choose "Tools", then "My Fees". If you feel your fees are not correct, please click on the "Help with My Fees" option at the bottom of the "My Turbo Tax Fees" screen for suggestions on how to reduce your fees.

Have you tried the IRS FREE FILE option for a totally free fed & state returns ???

Here's how Free File works:

Go to gov/freefile to see all Free File options.
Browse each of the 10 offers or use a "look up" tool to help you find the right product. Each Free File partner sets its own eligibility standards generally based on income, age and state residency. But if your adjusted gross income was $72,000 or less, you will find at least one free product to use. Two products are in Spanish.
Select a provider and follow the links to their web page to begin your tax return.
Complete and e-file your tax return only if you have all the income and deduction records you need. The fastest way to get a refund is by filing electronically and selecting direct deposit. If you owe, use direct pay or electronic options.

You do not have to be EITC eligible in order to qualify for Free File. Any individual or married couple that meets the income limitation can qualify. First-time filers or college students are key users. Military personnel who meet the income requirement can use any of nine partner products. And seniors who want to file the new Form 1040-SR because they are over 65 and taking the standard deduction also can use Free File.

Remember, if you meet the income requirement you will find at least one free online product. To avoid fees for state tax returns, look for a partner that offers free state tax return preparation or check out your state's tax agency website to see if they are members of the State Free File program.
