How to update federal information worksheet to remove disaster tax relief that I checked by mistake?

[apintorluna]

I accidentally hit that I recieved disaster tax relief for 2018-2020 which is not true. When I go to file it shows a box that I can uncheck, but then when I try to file after it just brings me back with the box still checked. Is there a way to remove this and efile?

Please try the following steps if you are using TurboTax Online to see if the error message will clear:

• Go to Federal on the left side of the screen

• Go to Wages & Income at the top of the screen

• Scroll to the bottom of the section without making any changes and click Wrap Up Income

• Continue moving forward until you see a question about whether you took a disaster distribution in 2020 and select 'No'

• Run the Federal Review again to see if the error has cleared

Please try the following steps if you are using a CD/downloaded version of TurboTax:

• Go to Wages & Income at the top of the screen (or Personal > Personal Income)

• Click I'll choose what I work on

• Scroll to the bottom of the section without making any changes and click Done with Income

• Continue moving forward until you see a question about whether you took a disaster distribution in 2020 and select 'No'

• Run the Federal Review again to see if the error has cleared

If you have tried these steps and you did not see a question about the disaster distributions in 2020, then repeat the steps for the Deductions & Credits section of your return until the question is located.

I had a specialist help me out. To uncheck the box I had to redo the "interview" (question asking) by going to my info and going through the entire thing again until it asked the question if I had received disaster tax relief.
