Any idea how to opt out of Form 3554? We are not new hires so we do not qualify for this credit, do i just enter no entry or no? I don't want to mess up our taxes since i know for a fact we do not qualify for this credit, using TurboTax Online, Thanks!

I went back into the New Employment Credit Recapture section and removed the 0 that i had in there previously, and it's still making me fill out the form, what can i do?

Once you register your tax return, or pay any TurboTax fees, we can no longer clear and start over.

Is the error i am getting when i try to delete or start over my CA state return, do i just not continue filing it online, and mail it in?

So since there's no response yet, i'm assuming i'm just going to have to file through mail?

Here's the general procedure for viewing the forms list and deleting unwanted forms, schedules, and worksheets in TurboTax Online:

  1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
  2. In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
  3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
  4. Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.

Please see this Help article for other Tips and tricks concerning deleting other forms that may have  transferred from last year's return.

The form does not appear in the forms section at all, State taxes are definitely out of my scope of expertise so i'm most likely going to have to take it to a preparer, and have them just mail it in.... There's no way i can restart my state taxes..... Thanks for your help.

Hello Community,

 

I'm new here and tardy to the tax party.  However, after reading all of the convoluted and bloated expert answers and becoming frustrated because none of the solutions were correct ergo none of the solutions worked; I set out on a mission to discover how to effectively remove Form 3554.

 

For the record I am using Intuit Turbo Tax Deluxe Version 2019. Now I don't know if the solution varies from version-to-version, but in the Deluxe Version here are the steps:

 

  1. Open your return
  2. See the intuit/turbotax logo
  3. Look to the far right - see the "Forms" GUI
  4. Click On it 
  5. Once the page populates, scroll down to the State Form
  6. Highlight Form 3554
  7. Once Form Appears
  8. Look to the lower left hand corner where you will see three (3) buttons: Print, Delete Form, Close Form
  9. Choose the action you wish to execute
  10. Voilà

Sounds reasonable, but sadly this fix doesn't work. The 3 buttons don't exist when viewed thru my browser, at least...would be nice if they did.

for Turbotax Online 2022 the only way to correct this is to delete the CA return and start over.
