How do I get a Form 2555 to stop appearing at review? I don't qualify for FEIE or FTC, and have tried various things in interview, and even manually deleting in "tools".

First, I was answering "neither of us", when asked "Whose Foreign Income Would You Like to Try and Exclude?", but then the form would keep appearing at the review stage. Then I tried deleting the forms manually - which appears to have worked on the "Review Form List" screen - but it still wants me to correct an issue with my 2555 at the review stage. Lastly, I tried to go through and answer "both of us" and proceeded to, essentially, fail the physical presence test for the FEIE by entering limited dates, and it prompted me to delete the appropriate 2555 forms ("great!" I thought). But then at review, the same familiar prompt was there and it still won't let me e-file.

One trigger for the FEIE is when you check off that this was foreign income in the W-2 interview.

 

So, I would suggest that you make sure that you have a copy of your W-2(s), then go delete the W-2s (in the input would be fine), then re-enter the W-2(s) by hand, and in the screens after you enter them by hand, make sure that you do NOT check the box that this W-2 income was foreign income.

 

Then continue with your return...
