Due to Form 3800, line 1dd small employer auto-enrollment credit being non-zero, I can't efile

I am filing using Desktop Home and Business (Form 1040).

I have a non-zero number on Form 3800 that is there because I filled in Form 8881 part II line 9, which is for the small employer auto-enrollment credit. TurboTax won't let me e-file and tells me to make entries for the auto-enrollment credit on Form 8881, but I did, which is why Form 3800 Worksheet is populated.

Now what? Shall I print and mail the return? Or do you have a suggestion?

I found an answer in one of the threads. Here it is. It worked!

Use "Open Forms" to add form 8881 to your return. Put zero in Part I line 7. Check 'Yes' in Part II under "Credit for Auto Enrollment Smart Worksheet". $500 Credit appears in lines 9 & 11 as well as on Form 3800 Pt 3 lines dd, 2 & 6.
