Trying to finish my state taxes but TT is requiring me to complete CA form 3506 when I did not pay a child care provider. How to I remove it from being required?

I did not have a child care provider last year and TT will not let me finish my taxes unless I complete CA form 3506 which states I had a child care provider. How do I remove this? What question can I change to make this go away?

To remove your CA Form 3506, you must first delete any child care forms that might have been carried forward from the prior year. Once complete, you can also delete the California form from your return.

 

Please follow these instructions in TurboTax:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Search child care with the magnifying glass tool at the top of the page.
  3. Click the Jump to Child Care link.
  4. Answer no to the question Did you pay for child and dependent care in 2020?
  5. Click on Tax Tools on the left hand side.
  6. Click on Tools.
  7. Click on Delete a form.
  8. Scroll down and delete Form 2441, if there is one in your list of forms. 
  9. Scroll down to your CA Form 3506 and click delete
