It says I need to wait ti file until I receive disaster forms but I didnt file any disaster claim

If you are getting a message regarding disaster forms and you did not file a disaster claim, you can try deleting "Form 8915-F" if the message was related to a "Covid Related Disaster" or "Form 4684" if the message is referring to a "Casualty/Disaster Loss."

 

To delete this form, you can try the steps listed below.

 

If you are using TurboTax Online, you can:

  1. Go to "Tax Tools" in your left panel of your TurboTax screen, then 
  2. Select "Tools" and 
  3. Under "Other Helpful Links
  4. Select "Delete a Form.
  5. This will bring up all of your forms and you can click on "Delete" next to the Form 8915-F (or Form 4684).

 

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can try: 

  1. Click on the "Forms Icon" on the top right of your screen to bring up  "Forms Mode
  2. Choose "Form 8915-F" (or Form 4684) from the list of forms in the left panel of your TurboTax screen
  3. Use the "Delete Form" option at the bottom of the form to delete the form
  4. Select "Yes" to confirm deletion of the form

 

You can also go back through your TurboTax entries to make sure you did not enter anything that triggered this form.

 

You can easily get to these screens in the TurboTax program by clicking on "Search" in the top right of your TurboTax screen and typing "Form 1099-R" in the search box if this was a COVID Disaster issue or  Form 4684 if this was a Casualty/Disaster Loss. Then click on the link "Jump to Form 1099-R (or Form 4684)."  Continue through your screens to check your entries.
