We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question?

 

Line 27b of what form?

 

If this is a state form, please include the name of your state.

I've been trying to replay to your post through my Gmail account but apparently that doesn't work. It seems to be so difficult to actually get help through turbo tax 😞 To answer you question I am self employed with two businesses. My carpentry business has a schedule C and line 27b(Energy efficient building deduction) has a 0 on that line. But it will not transmit because it says there is an error that needs fixed. And that by trying to take that deduction I would have to use form 7205, I believe, and mail in my return as Turbo does not support that form 😕😕 I revisited the step by step options and find nothing that I have done to indicate that I wanted to take that deduction?Thank you

Yes, this box should be blank, not 0. 

 

Select Review and when this error comes up, highlight your 0 and hit the back space key. Leave the field blank and continue with your return.

This problem occurred again in 2024 return. As usual, phone support is worthless (Upgrade, Reboot, Reinstall....lets do it again). Never called back. 

 

If there is a live person at Intuit that looks at these messaged, can you provide detailed instructions on how to fix it?
