I'm being blocked from filing because Natural Disaster Form 8915A-T isn't ready. However, I haven't been impacted by a natural disaster. How can I clear that flag?

I was able to connect to someone at TT support who had the answer. The form itself had to be deleted. 

 

I had to go to "Take me to my return" button.

 

In the left sidebar, select Tax Tools> Tools.

 

In the pop-up window Tool Center, select Delete a form.

 

Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet and follow the onscreen instructions.

 

This removed the form from the list.  I saved my return. When to the Home.  And from there was able to breeze through filing the return.

The Form 8915A is for claims for a retirement withdrawal due to a 2016 disaster.  If that was not the case go back into the "IRA, Pension Plan withdrawals" topic. 

 

Edit/Add and Continue.  You will arrive a question about disaster withdrawals prior to 2021.  Be sure to answer "No" if that is correct.

Thank you for your response, DMarkM1.  However, that has not worked. There is a question in that section about being impacted by a natural disaster, but I selected no originally and reselected no this time.  It still says I need to wait on that form.  

 

I will try deleting this entry and re-starting to see if that helps. 

 

Again, thank you for your assistance.  I appreciate it.

For anyone still following this saga: 

I deleted all the income information. I deleted my dependents. I deleted all the tax breaks stuff.  

Re-entered all of my information. 

Got the pop-up asking if I had been impacted by a natural disaster. 

I selected No. 

 

and got to exactly the same place.  

I have to wait on the same form to be completed by the IRS before I could continue. 

 

I have contacted support again and waiting further steps.  If the next thing works, I'll let you know.
