I do not want to upgrade from the simple form yet turbotax keeps giving me a $40 tax credit for having a work retirement 401k. How do I remove this credit?

When I go back to the credit and deduction section it just says I'm getting this deduction, but there's no where for me to remove it, as the question assist tells me to do.
