Forms will not delete

Hi,

 

I am trying to amend my taxes since I saw some tax forms that did not apply to me after I submitted it.

 

Form 8606 and form 8995 were generated in the background by error even when I did not check those items to be applicable to me.

 

I tried to go to tax tools > forms > choose form to delete but it would not delete successfully. 

 

Is this a bug? How do I correct it to amend my tax return?

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines. 

 

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed.
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return.
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.
  • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected.
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
