How do I edit or delete line 1e on my form 1040? It gives $5k but it should be zero.

Line 1e is showing taxable dependent care from your W2. You will need to enter the child care information and expenses to reduce or eliminate the taxable income.

Employee Reimbursements, Form W 2, Wage Inquiries - IRS states:

Box 10 of your W-2 shows the total amount of dependent care benefits that your employer paid to you or incurred on your behalf. Amounts over $5,000 are also included in box 1. You must complete Part III of Form 2441, Child and Dependent Care Expenses to figure the amount, if any, that you can exclude from your income.
