Question

Why is TurboTax asking me to fill out a Schedule E worksheet when I don't have rental property?

According to the IRS, "Use Schedule E (Form 1040) to report income or loss from rental real estate, royalties,
partnerships, S corporations, estates, trusts, and residual interests in REMICs."

Source: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040se.pdf

TurboTax is asking me on a SmartCheck to fill out property details on this worksheet, but I've never owned any rental property, just my primary residence.

To delete the Schedule E on your return:

Sign in to TurboTax
Open your return by selecting Continue or Pick up where you left off.
In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
Select Delete next to the Schedule E
