Employer-provided adoption benefits are shown in Box 12 of your Form(s) W-2 (code T), which triggered Form 8839. Since adopting stepchildren are not considered a qualified expense, you will not be able to exclude the employer-provided benefits from your income. You can delete Form 8839 if it is not needed. 

 

To remove Form 8839, please follow these steps:

  1. Open your tax return.
  2. Click on Tools.
  3. Click on Delete a Form
  4. Scroll down to Form 8839 and click Delete
