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!

Taxpayers file Form 8857 to request relief from tax liability, plus related penalties and interest, when they believe only their spouse or former spouse should be held responsible for all or part of the tax.

If this form is in error on your return you should delete it.

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

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