    Turbo tax does not include the form it is claiming that I need.  

     

    When I pull up the form 5884 on the IRS web, as I'm looking at it, I don't need the form.

     

    So, it looks like Turbo Tax thinks I need the form and I don't.  

     

    When I override the field where Turbo tax is asking for the information from Form 5884, it keeps telling me I have an error in my taxes.  It absolutely will not let me file my taxes electronically without the form that I don't need.  How can I get past this?

    Go to tax tools>tools>delete a form>look for 5884 and delete it.

     

    If using the software, go to forms and look for the forms on the left hand side of the screen. Select the form and it will appear on the right side of your screen. Scroll to the bottom and delete the form.
