Hello TT support and community.
Here is my problem.
When I look at Forms View in my TurboTax 2025 Premier PC Desktop version, I see several empty forms that should not be there and were not present last year in my 2024 return using the same desktop version.
For example, I see an empty Schedule C, even though I have no self-employment activity and did not have this form in 2024. Another example is Form 5695, which is also completely empty.
My situation and tax activity have not changed from 2024.
My guess is that using the “Walk me through everything” option may have caused TurboTax to create forms even though no related information was entered — but that’s just a guess.
My questions are about the correct way to handle this:
Is it safe to delete empty forms manually in Forms View, or could that cause problems with the return?
If I start a brand-new return from scratch, will TurboTax recognize that I already paid for an additional state, or will I be asked to pay again? Is there a way to avoid double-paying?
Is there another recommended or cleaner way to remove or prevent these unnecessary empty forms?
Thanks for your help.
