Based on the context of your question, I think you’re referring to Form 8615, Tax for Certain Children Who Have Unearned Income. 

To delete Form 8615, please see the TurboTax Help article How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online? for guidance.

To edit the form:

  • Log in to your TurboTax Online account.
  • Select Take me to my return or Pick up where you left off.
  • Click Tax Tools in the left menu column.
  • Select Tools.
  • Click Topics Search
  • Type 8615.  When you should see the topic highlighted, click the Go button to begin the interview process.  You can review and/or edit any entries during this process.

Taxpayers use Form 8615 to figure tax on unearned income over $2,100 if they’re under age 18, and certain situations when they’re older.
