Removing Form 3554

[AmyC]

Please return to the form and empty out the contents so that it is blank. The form should not process if it is empty.

I have desktop version and after clicking on forms and selecting it I don’t see the delete button?

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

The form is not there to be deleted....[removed] Do not call yourself an expert if you do not have the right answer.

Intuit/turbotax need to fix this bug.

SSN automatically re-populates the field after I've highlighted and deleted it:-(

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.

I spent 1.5 hours on phone with techs (T1 and T2) getting nowhere. Apparently, there's no way to remove Form 3354 from TT software-> deluxe desktop version. There's a glitch in the software that doesn't allow for e-filing of state return if this form isn't filled out and included...even if it doesn't apply to you. That's a confidence booster! I ended up printing return and mailing it. I know this is a first world problem, but what a waste of time trying to figure out TT software and going down dead ends reading solutions others have tried...to no avail.

How do I View and Delete Forms?

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