      You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.    Sometimes—not always— the IRS corrects your mistakes, while they are processing your return.    If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed             Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)     See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -   CURRENT YEAR https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk     Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return          

Did you try deleting the actual form or just in the interview mode?  Also, were you already in the Amend process or are you doing this without starting the amendment?   You will need to start the amendment prior deleting the form and then to delete the form take the following steps: Correct your filing status, marking that someone can and will claim you as a dependent on their return Then go to delete a form and look for form 8962 and the 1095-A.   Delete the 1095-A Then delete the 8962 This should allow you to move forward.   From the left rail menu in TurboTax Online, select Tax Tools (You may have to scroll down on the left rail menu.) On the drop-down select Tools On the Pop-Up menu titled “Tools Center,” select Delete a Form  This will show all of the forms in your return  Scroll down to the form you want to delete  Select the Form  Click on Delete.  Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.   

For your US tax return, in TurboTax you will need to report the Interest in the Income section, the Foreign Tax Credit in the Deductions and Credits section, and the reporting of the foreign assets.  Do not forget the FinCEN 114, which is separate but most likely is required.     Claiming the Foreign Tax Credit with Form 1116 How do I file Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets? How do I file an FBAR report (FinCEN 114)? - TurboTax Support    

Do you have enough tax liability to claim the credit?  The biomass credit is part of the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit. This is a nonrefundable credit that cannot be carried forward.  Which means it is a use it or lose it credit.  So if you do not have a tax liability in the tax year you are filing for on line 16 of your form 1040 for it to offset, or you already have enough other non-refundable credits to offset it, you will not be able to claim this credit.

Thank you for your reply   I deleted the form twice. And I cleared my entire return twice and re-entered my info manually and right after I enter my W-2 income info, Turbo Tax Automatically adds that 1099-G back into the income section.. I click the delete button next to it but it stills transfers over to the State return.
