Subject say's it all. Two weeks ago when I went to file, it turns out someone claimed independent when they shouldn't have. They ammended and fixed it, but then I had to update Turbo Tax and now it's saying I have to fill out this form, but DID NOT have Child/Dependent care expenses and now can't figure out how to delete/fix the problem. I see where other's have the issue but can't figure out where in the instructions to change it/delete it. It says to go back into federal, but there's no where on my software page that says FEDERAL!!! I'm so frustrated!!

    If you are using the TurboTax software installed on your personal computer -

    Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home & Business)

    Click on Deductions & Credits

    Click on I'll choose what I work on

    Scroll down to You and Your Family

    On Child and Dependent Care Benefits, click on start or update

    Click on No for Did you pay for child and dependent care in 2022?

     

    Now click on Forms in the upper right of the desktop program screen (Windows)

    In Forms mode locate the Form 2441 on the left side of the program screen.  Click on the Form 2441 to open the form.  Click on Delete Form at the bottom of the screen.

    Thank you DoninGA!! Though I was able to get to the form on my own, I overlooked the delete option at the bottom of the page and likely would have NOT found it if not for your help. 

     

    Also I might add, though other's had this problem-I'm assuming they were using Turbo Tax Online-whereas I downloaded TT using software installed via CD ROM thus, the instructions provided previous to yours, was not relevant to my situation. I'm glad you understood that and am thankful for your time & help; I'm certain this will be helpful to others 🙂 God Bless

    By the way, if you don't have a Federal tab at the top you must have the Home & Business version.  That splits the "Federal" into Business and Personal tabs.  So whenever you see Federal that should be under your Personal tab.  Any Online steps you see should be similar to the Desktop program and get you close to what you are looking for.
