TurboTax Business 2020 is forcing me to complete a 502A Virginia tax form for non-resident filings. The form is not appropriate as we are 100% resident. This has never happened in prior years. I deleted the form, but it regenerates.

I think others are experiencing the same. Has anyone solved?

Spent 2 HOURS on the phone to attempt to resolve this issue. The ultimate outcome of the phone call was to receive links to new TurboTaxBus software downloads for fed and VA. I really didn't believe a new download would accomplish anything so I did not install the "new" software (I'd already run the update feature anyway - I'm sure my install was current.)

Ultimately, after completing the Fed and VA returns in TTBus, I opened the "Forms" view and deleted schedule 502A. I verified that it had no impact on my primary forms being submitted for VA. After deleteing I was able to submit electronically to VA. Hope this helps you out, good luck.

I have the same problem. I can't delete the 502A worksheet, it doesn't show up under forms. And 502 is required for all PTEs, so I can't delete that.

From the Forms VIew, I could not see the form either. I then selcted the Errors! Tab next to it. When the error cam up on the screen their is an choice to delte form. I deleted the form and it came back with "No Errors"

Thanks so much. I realized that I have to just delete the 502A as it appears in forms view and not click around to 502.

I am having a similar problem with VA 502A. The program won't allow me to electronic file until I complete the form. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to override this form? Thanks

I just realized all these posts were from 2021! I'm having the same issue for my 2022 return in 2023. Why hasn't this been fixed in the program?
