If you did not use any childcare provider in 2021 and therefore do not claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit then please see How do I delete Form 2441 for instructions on how to delete any information in this section.

When are we going to know more about this issue, and when will I be able to file taxes? It seems like the issue has been going on for a few days and a lot of us need to get this finished.

Is there an ETA on the fix for this error with KY returns?

Exactly the same thing with me it would not delete because it's still saying the same thing. I am so very upset over this because unlike you and everyone else that needs their taxes done and the money right away we now have to wait for them to fix their mistake which God knows how long that's gonna be because I still haven't heard any word yet and this problem occurred last week

I'm in the same boat with you, this is so absurd. I started to file mine last Monday and it's still showing that same message about an SSN or E IN number when I didn't even report that I supported any daycare or dependent care
