How do I get rid of the 8857 partially filled out form?

So going through what I thought was Form 8379, I was actually filling out 8857. Now the federal return needs review because of this form. How do I get rid of it?

How do I get rid of the 8857 partially filled out form?

You will have to delete the Form 8857 and associated worksheets (if any).

See: How do I delete forms in TurboTax Online?

After deleting the form, log out of the program. When you log back in, you use the Delete a Form tool to see if the form has been removed from the list of forms in your return.

If the delete and re-enter process does not allow you to correct the problem, you may have to try Using Clear & Start Over in TurboTax Online

Why does this happen? Once you enter (or import or transfer) certain information, the program creates or updates forms and worksheets that use that information. In many cases, you cannot "change" that information in the interview process - in a manner of speaking, it has been "written in ink" on the forms. You have to delete the form and any associated worksheets in order to correct.
