Can I delete Form 2210 and refile it if I have progressed to a few steps from filing my income tax returns?

I have gotten to that part of Turbotax where it asked me for my credit card and check deposit numbers. It told me I can’t e-file because I haven’t corrected my Form 2210. It wants about twenty entries to Form 2210 to fix it. I don't know exactly what it wants and Turbotax provides little help. I would like to delete the form and refile it. Will the program self-destruct if I do that?

No, but form 2210 calculates any penalties or interest you may owe on the taxes that you are paying. When you delete it, if you owe any penalties (or the system thinks that you do) it will regenerate immediately. Your best bet is probably to go through and answer the questions that it is asking in order to calculate the penalty and just be done with it.

I did not mention that Turbotax wanted me to enter by quarters-of-a-year long-term and short-term capital gains, dividends and whatever else income. My wife employed a stockbroker who churned stock purchases last year and accumulated at least a 100 sales last year. To try to sum these by entries by quarters and subject would have been an impossible task. Turbotax, too, was vague on where the entry was to be entered and what it was for. For example, it asked for "Form 2210AI A-ST Net G(L)". What? Worse, its not necessary under Form 2210. I know that because I filled out Form 2210 by hand. Turbotax goofed and probably because I had asked to do the quarterly entries and then tried to remove it. Turbotax won't allow incorrect entries in Form2210, it appears

So.....I deleted Form 2210. Turbotax says I owe no penalty---same as before---but now does not require the 12 entries. This fixed it. If this did not work, I don't know if I would have deleted the whole return and started over.....
