Can I e-file nonresident return to recoup tax with 0 income

One of the ways to get to efile a return with $0 income, is to include a "rounding error" of $1 as other income on your federal return (which should carry over to your state return).

To enter the $1 of rounding error:

1. Click on the “Federal Taxes” tab ("Personal" tab in TurboTax Home & Business)
2. Next click on “Wages and Income”
3. Next click on "jump to full list" or “see all income”
4. Scroll down the screen until to come to the section “Less Common Income”
5. Choose "show more", then Miscellaneous Income
6. Choose "Other Reportable Income" and enter this information here under other taxable income 
7. You can title it "rounding" and enter $1
