I entered an amount for a Retirement Savings Contribution Credit by mistake. How can I delete that entry or change it to zero?

If you do not want to claim the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit, you should go back into that section of your return and indicate that you were a full-time student.  Then the credit will not be applied even if you otherwise qualify for it.  

 

Use the following steps to go through that section of your return:

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
  • This opens a box where you can type in “saver's credit, form 8880” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to saver's credit, form 8880
  • Click on the blue “Jump to saver's credit, form 8880” link
