SC-F1040-002-02 e-file error
One of the following lines in Schedule C (Form 1040) must have a non-zero value: Line 1 'TotalGrossReceiptsAmt', Line 7 'GrossIncomeAmt', Line 28 'TotalExpensesAmt', Line 29 'TentativeProfitOrLossAmt', Line 31 'NetProfitOrLossAmt'. (rule SC-F1040-002-02)
You need a positive amount on 1 of the following Schedule C lines to e-file: 1, 7, 28, 29, 31.
Solution
If there isn't a positive amount, then you can't file the return electronically per IRS e-File specifications.
If the Schedule C isn't required, but you want to keep the activity in the tax return, mark
Inactive activity
on the C screen, in the Business
folder. If the Schedule C is required, the return needs to be filed on paper with Form 8948.
