"Blank Form" explaining IRA basis change from my 2017 return included in 2021?

[sberry192]

For my 2017 return, I had to explain some IRA basis changes and this was included on a form titled "Blank Form".

When I saved a copy of my 2021 return (no worksheets), I noticed that this form from 2017 is included. I checked returns from 2018-2020 and noticed the form is there as well. How do I remove this?

Yes, you can and should delete this form if it does not apply to the current year.

If you are using TurboTax Online:

1. From inside the return, scroll down to Tax Tools on the bottom of the left side menu.
2. Select Tools.
3. Click on Delete a form (third on the list at the bottom of the screen).
4. Find Blank form on the list of forms.
5. Click Delete to the right.
6. Confirm your Delete.
7. Click Continue in the lower right. 
8. Click Continue with my return.

If you are using the Desktop version (disc or download):

1. Click Forms toward the upper right corner. 
2. Find Blank form on the list on the left.
3. Highlight it, then click Delete in the lower left corner of the reading pane.
4. Click on Step by Step in the upper right corner to return to the interview.
