How can I permanently delete the Adoption credit worksheet? I have deleted the form many times and it always reappears. There is nothing in my box 12 on the W2s.

If you don't have anything on your W-2, and you've tried to delete the form.  I suggest that you go through the program interview to clear it out.

Stat with:

1. Deductions and Credits
2. Scroll to You and Your Family
3. Select Adoption Credit
4. If there is an entry here there will be a trash can on the right hand side to clear the entries.

I'd also like to confirm your process to delete a form.

1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
   1. My Info
   2. Federal
   3. State
   4. Review
   5. File
2. Select Tax Tools
3. On the drop down select Tools
4. On the Pop-Up menu select Delete a Form
5. This will give you all of the forms in your return
6. Scroll down to the form you want to delete
7. Select the Form
8. Click on Delete.

Always use extreme caution when deleting from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.

from HelenC12:

If you're not claiming the Adoption Credit and you want to remove the adoption worksheet(s), you must also delete Form 8839: Qualified Adoption Expenses. When you delete form 8889, the instructions will ask if you want to remove related worksheets and schedules. This will remove the adoption worksheet.
