When I enter negative amount as described above, Turbotax is not allowing me to eFile my Federal tax returns. It says I need to fix the return and 'Wages, Salaries & Tips worksheet: TP other earned inc shouldn't be less than zero." Please help!!

you can't have negative Other Income. That makes sense, doesn't it ?

I'm in the same situation and getting the same error "'Wages, Salaries & Tips worksheet: TP other earned inc shouldn't be less than zero."  Has anyone found a solution to this?

Turbo Tax will not allow a negative income. If your income is less than $0, you can enter $0 or leave the field blank.
