For those using TurboTax 2018, the above solution sort of works. In TurboTax Deluxe, here's what I did:
1. Select "FORMS" icon in upper left corner. The screen flips, revealing the list of forms on the left panel.
2. Form 3554 does not initially appear on the State return; to locate it click "FORMS" on the top menu bar and select Form 3554 for the list.
3. Form 3554 will appear on the screen and in the side panel. Select the label in the side panel so its highlighted.
4. Click FORMS again on the upper menu bar. From the dropdown menu, select "REMOVE FORM 3554"
5. TurboTax will ask you if you're sure you want to remove it ("Removing this form will remove its data" etc.) Select "YES" (or "Remove", I can't recall which.)
6. The form 3554 whooshes away and hopefully this idiotic imbecilic design flaw with this software program will be the only headache you have to deal with before filing your taxes.
