How to delete form 1116 other deduction explanation statement

Hello there, I have TurboTax desktop. I need get rid of form 1116  other deduction explanation statement since we are going to take the standard deduction. I tried to go to forms and delete the statement from there, but when I go to e-file my 1040, the statement came back again as an error. Therefore, I can’t do e-filing. Is there any other way to get rid of the explanation statement? or any box  to check? I thought I checked everything correctly. Thank you.

How to delete form 1116 other deduction explanation statement

You can delete the statement with the form but not advisable. The form 1116 can be used as a deduction or a credit. Most people take the credit. Go back through the foreign tax credit and select credit. You can go back through your explanation statement, fix any issues and keep it. You can efile and have a bigger refund.
