Employee

What form? The program shows the form and the location of line 7a on the form.

Schedule B: Line 7a should be blank

Employee

Did you enter any interest income from a Form 1099-INT?

I also had this error, but had 1099-INT and 1099-DIV. I deleted Schedule B which deleted both entries for 1099. After re-entering these, I no longer had this error...but I still had to reenter which was annoying due to Intuit misusing a radio button.

Employee

Delete the Schedule B. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on Delete a form

I had that problem when I had 7a answered "No" AND line 7b answered "No". Those were the "correct" answers but that combination created the error. When I checked 7a "Yes" and left 7b UNANSWERED, the error went away.

Used all the solutions in the help center and I still cannot get past this 7a Schedule B Issue Please email me with a solution as I would like to get my return sents.

Thank you

Simply go on the form where the x is located on Line 7a on that Sch B and click directly on it. That should make it blank.

The other option as was mentioned by DoninGA is to delete the form in its entirety.

I have deleted Schedule B more than once I have a 1099 Int for 44.59 I have to enter.

Please help me correct this issue or I am so done with Intuit

This is second year of having problems trying to efile
