Thanks for responding. I tried that several times and it never deleted the form even after confirming it did. It almost seems like they added the form and wouldn't let me remove it so I have to buy the plus version . I'm probably trying another tax service provider next year.

You must file Form 8959 if one or more of the following applies to you.
Filing Status Threshold Amount
Married filing jointly $250,000
Married filing separately $125,000
Single $200,000
Head of household $200,000
Qualifying widow(er) $200,000
This form will generate automatically if your income exceeds the threshold. The IRS instructions are in the link that follows. Review the "Who Must File" section of the instructions. Verify that you have not exceeded these amounts. If you have, you will not be able to delete the form.

There must be a bug in the software because no of those apply to me.

Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Hi,
I have a pretty basic tax return filing jointly with my spouse, no fancy extra (stock sales, house owning or similar) and can't pass through the last step where I am asked to file Form 8959 (Additional Medicare Tax). This ask is incorrect since I my household income doesn't exceed the 250K. I have cleared the cache, browsing history, signed out and in again, deleted the form, received confirmation for the deletion of the form, but the system still requires me to upgrade to Deluxe. Seems like this is a bug caused by earlier decisions, although I can't point out where exactly this happens. Could you please confirm if I need to upgrade to Deluxe should I want to file a basic tax return?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Additional info: In the link https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i8959.pdf it states
Who Must File
You must file Form 8959 if one or more of the following applies to you.
• Your Medicare wages and tips on any single Form W-2 (box 5) are greater than $200,000.
Although I am filing jointly with my wife who doesn't have an income, it seems that since my earning is greater than $200,000 in Box 5 in the W2 form, I must file the Form 8959 since my employer has already withhold the 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on my Medicare wages.

Yes, you are required to file the Form 8959 if any W2 has over $200,000 in Box 5, even if your employer withheld the correct additional wages so you would need to upgrade to Deluxe.
