How can i delete the recovery rebate form. i delete the form under tools, go to efile and it sends me back tot he form. can't efile..

There is no separate tax form for the recovery rebate, it is simply listed on line 30 of form 1040. There are internal program worksheets, but they will be re-created every time you delete them.  Furthermore, even if you claimed nothing for a rebate, the IRS will automatically add it for you if you qualify.

Why do you want to remove it?

I am not eligible for recovery rebate since I do not meet the Substantial Presence test; how do i skip over this form?

Try reviewing your forms in TurboTax and deleting the Form 7202. While in your return in TurboTax:

• In the left hand column select "Tax Tools"
• Select "Tools"
• Select "Delete a form"
• Review for form 7202
• Delete selected form then "Back"
• Run your Federal review again.
