Form 8857 I don't need this form

I keep receiving 2 errors for missing information on this form 8857.  I am not filing this form. How do I get rid of it?  I have gone through the questions over and over for which I select 'No' for "Request for Innocent Spouse Relief."  I must have accidently selected 'yes' the first time going through the questions.  If I can't get rid of this form, will it effect the processing of my filing?  I don't want to 'flag' anyone at the IRS and cause delays.  Thanks!
