Why is there a blank Schedule C on my state return for my husband?

I should have a Schedule C (which I do) but in the review, it's asking me to fill in blanks for my husband on a Schedule C. He doesn't need this. Why is it showing up? There are no 1099s entered in the Federal income section under his name to indicate he would need this.

There may have been a box ticked. If you go to the section for your business there will be a list of two businesses there now. Just click the little trashcan next to the one for your husband.

Thanks for your reply! I found on the state that there is an "untitled" 1099 that appears to have been brought over from Federal. However, when I go back to the Federal self-employment income and expenses, there is only the two (correct) 1099s entered. It won't allow me to delete but there is an option not to report. When I click on "don't report for this return" the reasons given for not reporting the blank 1099 are not in line with why I wouldn't report (part-year resident or married, filing separately). Any thoughts or suggestions?
