⚠️ Before You Begin
This rejection means your e-filed return has Schedule C fields that must contain a non-zero value, but they are currently blank or zero.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Check what is causing the rejection
This can occur when:
- Schedule C page 1 has an overridden field.
- There is a second Sch C page 2, but no page 1.
Step 2: Resolve the issue (choose one)
To resolve, do one the following:
- Jump from the overridden field on Schedule C and correct whatever caused the need to override.
- Add Schedule C page 1 to the return.
❌ Common Errors
If you only fix page 2 (or only remove overrides) without ensuring Schedule C page 1 is present and correct, the rejection may continue.
