Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you mean that you did not have medical insurance, I recommend returning to the health care section of your tax return to double check the entries. If this form is truly not needed, then follow these steps to delete it:

  • From the left menu, select Tax Tools
  • Select Tools
  • Select Delete a Form
  • Scroll to Form 3853 in the California list of forms and select Delete form

TurboTax fills in FTB Form 3853 is for Health Coverage Exemptions and Individual Shared Responsibility Penalty depending on your circumstances related to health insurance details.
