I had a 2555T form last year, but not for this year's taxes.

When I try to delete this tax form for this year, it does not exist in the tax forms. However, I need to update this form when I go to review the federal taxes, so it must exist somewhere.

How can I delete this form? Thank you

You can correct this by going back to your Foreign section of TurboTax and where it asks Did you make money outside of the U.S.? Make sure that is answered No.

Form 2555 (Foreign Earned Income) is triggered in TurboTax when you indicate that you earned income while living or working outside the United States and/or try electing to exclude that income from U.S. taxation.

You can easily get to that question in TurboTax as follows:

Click on Search at the top right of your TurboTax screen
Type foreign income in the search box
Click on the link Jump to foreign Income
Your screen will say Did You Make Money Outside of the United States?
Select No and Continue

Also, you can go back to your Form W-2 entries to make sure you did not answer that you worked outside the U.S. To do this you can:

Click on Search at the top right of your TurboTax screen
Type W-2 in the search box.
Click on the link Jump to W-2
Click on Edit next to your Form(s) W-2
On the screen that says OK, let's update the info we have for you and your employer, select Continue
On the screen that says Now let's update the rest, select Continue
On the screen that says Let's check for other situations, make sure you did not click on Worked outside the U.S.

If you have additional information or questions regarding this, please return to Community and we would be glad to help.

Thanks for the ideas. I tried them again, but unfortunately I still seem to have a Form 2555T for 2025 for foreign income that needs review, even though I have not added it, and have said I did not have any foreign income this year. This form does not seem to have been added, nor is it available anywhere. How can I delete it? Thank you

Try this and see if this works.

Go to federal>wages and income
Less common income>Foreign income and exclusion select start
Next screen asks if you made any money outside the US. Say no.
Log or close your return and then open your return again.
See if this error is still present.

If it persists, try this method.

Go to Tax Tools (left side)
Select Tools
Choose Delete a Form
Look for any of these:

2555
2555‑T
Foreign Earned Income Worksheet
Foreign Income Tax Worksheet
Foreign Employer Compensation Worksheet
Form 1116 Comp Worksheet
Close or log out of your return
These steps are for TurboTax Online but if you are working in the software, go to the forms mode in your return. Select each form as they appear and once they appear in the right pane of your screen, press delete at the bottom. You will need to do this for each form.

If you see any of them, delete them. Now if this doesn't work. Try this trick as this has been known to work.
