I think that when you use TurboTax year over year, it creates a lot of blank forms in the new year, like W-2s 1099s, and charitable deductions, which can save some time because you don’t have to enter addresses and other information all over again. TurboTax usually should ask you something like “Do you have income from Smith Brothers again this year?” or “ Last year you made charitable contributions to these organizations. Did you make contributions to them again this year?“ and then give you a place to either open the form and enter the information or delete the form.
What I don’t understand is why, if you deleted the blank W-2 from your employer in a previous year, does it keep coming back. I would expect that if you delete the blank W-2 this year because you no longer work for this employer, it should not come back next year.
