Getting an error when i try to file:

"Check this entry

Schedule E Worksheet: Yes, 1099s were filed should be blank if 1099s were not required."

I made sure that under rental property info the "Required to send a 1099 section" is checked No. I was able to ensure that the if "yes, did you or will you file all required form(s) 1099?" It is blank but the error continues and i cant file.

This is normally caused by a browser issue.

Use the Chrome browser
Click the three dots in the upper right corner
Select Settings

Privacy and Security

Clear browser data for all time

Insert clear browser pic

Then sign in to TurboTax on the Chrome browser
Go to Tax Tools, Tools, Delete a Form and delete your Schedule E
Go to the program and enter the No again for issuing 1099's.

Go through the pages in the income section until it ends and then run Review again.

The error should be gone.

This was definitely NOT the fix for me. Just annoying to have all of my browser stuff deleted. See below where someone discusses deleting Schedule E. A little bit of work, but it works like a charm!

I'm getting the same error. On mine No was selected in both boxes, however it still won't let me file. Ridiculous! The suggested workaround of clearing the browser and deleting schedule E did not work, even though I tell it to delete Schedule E it's always still there.

Some issue here

While assisting my client in Turbo Tax we noticed this kept popping up. It is because he selected originally Did you pay anyone for this rental property where form 1099 or W2s need to be filed. He put yes because he did pay people but not a lot just for cleaning and some yard work to where he did not need to upload or create these forms. We deleted the form Schedule E and the worksheet, and went back in to the questions and selected No to this question and it fixed the error

I don't know if this was me or not, but this is exactly what happened with me. Write down the info on Schedule E, delete it and redo it, making sure to answer that one question correctly and you'll be fine. E-Filed without a hitch after that.

I've been stuck on this for weeks as well. The "fix" then is to go back in and delete the entire Schedule E worksheet? And then I'd have to go back and enter all that info again, right?

I was able to fix this bug by going into the rental property details where the question was asked, changed my answer from NO to YES, clicked next, then went back and changed my answer to NO.

That fixed worked! michaelpmcrae ! The simplest way to fix this error. It worked for me anyway.

Has this bug returned. I am facing the same issue in 4/7/2024. Has anyone else noticed that it does not allow you to move forward. Neither does it let you uncheck that radio button.

Please clarify which version of TurboTax you are using: Online or Desktop? Windows or Mac? If Online, which browser? Also, please provide the full text of the error message you are seeing.
