Deductions & credits

If you can't delete the calculation worksheet, that means you have a carryover credit from 2020.  Go through the Adoption Credit interview and update the information.   

 

Search for adoption credit and select the Jump to link.   Click Edit next to the child listed and go through the screens.   If you don't qualify to take the credit this year, the credit will carryover to next year, but you will be able to e-file.   If you are taking the credit, you have to wait for Form 8839 to be finalized, currently scheduled for 03/03.

 

You can use the Print Center/Forms Mode in desktop to view the Carryover Wks form which shows all amount carried over from your 2020 return.  You will see the adoption credit carryover on Line 19.   This amount is showing up on the Credit Comp Wks which is why you can't delete that form.   When you delete, it will reappear because you have that carryover amount on the Carryover worksheet, Line 19.   If you have a valid carryover credit, you don't want to delete it.
