Should the adoptive child info section be populating with blank information? I keep getting prompted to add information to a form but we did not adopt a child.

The adoption expenses form is form 8839. If you did not adopt a child, you'll need to delete form 8839 from your tax return.

 

  • In TurboTax, open your return
  • In the left-hand column, locate Tax Tools, click on the drop-down arrow then click on Tools
  • On the Tools Center page, click on Delete a form
  • A list of forms will appear. Locate the Form 8839 and click Delete next to it.
  • On the next screen, click Delete Form

I don't actually have Form 8839 available for me to delete 😕

I am attaching a post from KatherineC to remove the adoption credit from your tax return, please follow the steps below:

  • Log into your return and continue it.
  • Click on Federal in the left column
  • Click on Deductions & Credits
  • Under You and Your Family, click the button beside Adoption Credit
  • You will see "Here's your adoptive child info"
  • Click the trash can icon
  • You will be asked to confirm you want to delete the credit
  • Click Done

 

 

Hope it helps.
