Can someone help? For some reason a form 502CR appeared on my tax review. How do I remove this form? .

Why did this form appear?

[DavidD66]

Can you clarify:  Are you filing a Maryland state tax return?  If not, what kind of return are you seeing Form 502CR?  If you are filing a Maryland state tax return, that form is used to claim personal income tax credits for individuals. 

Purpose of Form. Form 502CR is used to claim personal income tax credits for individuals (including resident fiduciaries).

You may report the following tax credits on this form: the Credit for Income Taxes Paid to Other States, Credit for Child and Dependent Care Expenses, Quality Teacher Incentive Credit, Long-Term Care Insurance Credit, Credit for Preservation and Conservation Easements, Credit for Aquaculture Oyster Floats, the Health Enterprise Zone Practitioner Income Tax Credit, Sustainable Communities Tax Credit, the Neighborhood Stabilization Credit, Flow-Through Nonresident PTE Tax and IRC Section 1341 Repayment Credit.

I have a similar problem.  Even though I didn't claim anything, TurboTax gave me a $1500 Maryland "Quality Teacher Incentive Credit" for both Taxpayer A and Taxpayer B.  Filing SINGLE and am not a teacher.  I cannot get rid of it.

I am filing in Maryland.  Even though I didn't claim to be a teacher or answer any of the questions in that section, TurboTax gave me a $1500 Quality Teacher Incentive Credit that I can't get rid of.  In fact, it gave me two (one for Taxpayer A and one for Taxpayer B), even though I am filing single.   I went back to that section and put zeros where I had left it all blank and it didn't help.  I am not a teacher and didn't claim it

If you don't have any of the credits mentioned by @DavidD66 , then you can delete form 502CR and that should resolve your issue.

1. Click on Tax Tools in the left menu bar
2. Click on Tools
3. Look under Other Helpful Links and choose Delete a form

Find the form 502CR in the list and click on the delete icon to remove it.

I have another legitimate credit, so I can’t just delete the form. Plus, the credits Turbo Tax gave me incorrectly affect all the subsequent calculations of what I owe.

To address the question, I would like to do a Diagnostic. The diagnostic code is used by the TurboTax Agent to view your "scrubbed" copy of your return when you are having certain problems that cannot be resolved.  You, the customer give the agent this code for them to enter.  Your personal information is removed. Here are the steps to get the code:

1. Sign in to their TurboTax account.
2. Open or continue their return.
3. In the left panel, Select Tax Tools, and then Tools
4. In the Tools Center pop-up, select Share my file with Agent
   • They’re notified that all personally identifiable information (PII) is being removed
5. Tell you the seven-digit token number that appears
6. Select X to close the Tools Center pop-up

Please add this token number to your post.

Hello, I am having the same problem for MD taxes, I am getting $1500 credit for quality teacher incentive but I am not a teacher.

When I go to the Tools dropdown menu on the top left, I do not see the option "Share my file with Agent"

If you are using the CD/download software, you will look on the upper left for "Online" and click on "Send Tax File to Agent". This will give you the token number that you will post to a new thread with a description of the issue.

The information was for the On-line version of Turbo Tax.  You should include the same info for downloads.  It can be confusing at times. (Downloads- navigate to forms. select the forms and press delete at the bottom of the screen

I am up to date on  updates for my desktop TurboTax 2024.  When I delete Maryland form 502CR to get rid of the Part C Quality Teacher Incentive Credit, it disappears from the forms list on the left side of the page, and a few seconds later, it pops back up. 

I can't file my Maryland taxes with this error.  I hope someone has had success.  I tried doing my Maryland taxes on the MD site, but it's confusing.

I'm replying to my own question.  I discovered this glitch (of the 502CR  Part C Quality Teacher Incentive Credit appearing and not getting deleted no matter what I tried) actually showed up on my 2023 return but I didn't notice.  

I redid my taxes in Turbo Tax 2024, but I entered everything manually instead of having the 2023 return transferred over.  Thankfully that solved the problem and I can file on time.
