Your note was my ticket out of the mess I was in - having Form 3800 appear in my return that shouldn't. In 2021, My S Corp received an ERC for qualified wages due to Covid. I was mistakenly listing this ERC in Box 13 of 1120s Schedule K1, code P "Employee Retention Credit". I now understand that that was a problem because that is NOT where the "Covid Wages ERC" should be listed. The ERC for box 13 of K1 is meant for certain natural disasters, which are specifically listed, and doesn't include the Covid wages ERC.
That erroneous entry on Box 13 on Sch. K1 was generating the Form 5884-A, and thus Form 3800. I couldn't get the 3800 deleted until I deleted the mistake on Box 13 on K1.
Having deleted the Sch. K1, box 13 entry, everything else cleared itself up, resulting in no Form 3800 appearing.
Whew!
Thanks again for being so smart, and being so kind to help out.
