    If this is a form that is not needed on the return you can delete the form.

     

    Here is how to delete form 7205:

     

    1. Open or continue your return.
    2. Go to the Search bar and search for the form by typing the form name.
    3. Select the Jump to link with the form name.
    4. Then, see if that takes you to a summary screen.
      • Type Form 7205 in the search bar and selecting the Jump to link in the search results takes you to the Your 7205 screen.
      • You can remove the Form on this screen by selecting the trash icon.

    How do I delete other tax forms or schedules?

    While it's OK to delete blank, duplicate, or irrelevant forms, we don't recommend deleting valid forms or schedules, for example, nonfinal forms or forms that won't let you e-file. Understand that deleting a form or schedule may create new, unforeseen problems before proceeding.

    I had a similar problem. When I spoke with a turbo tax rep, we were able to fix the problem this way:

    Go to "All Other Expenses" under "Business Expenses."

    At the bottom of the page there is a zero entered in the box that says "Energy Efficient Buildings."

    Delete that zero so that the box is empty (no zero, no anything - just blank.)

    Then try to efile.

    Worked for me!

    Yes, it did this as well and it worked for me also. I posted this answer as well.
