I followed the instructions you referenced, but the tool does not delete Schedule R. (It actually pops up a little message that says "this form cannot be deleted.") Re your question about what happens when I hit "update", first I get a screen that says "let's see if we can get" you more money, with an option to continue. Then it asks for any non-taxable retirement income (there is none in this case), and when I hit continue, it simply tells me the return already includes the credit. There is no option to refuse it.
I did play with the DOB to force the age down below 65, and the credit drops off. Since this is a paper file, I think this may allow me to at least create a printable 1040. Any other solutions or any cautions for me?
