I accidentally claimed that I obtained disaster relief, now I cannot change it. How can I change it?

I claimed that I received disaster relief in 2018-2020 (thinking that this was the COVID Stimulus). Upon federal review, I found that this was not the case. I am unable to uncheck this box on the return, or go back and find where I made that claim. I have reviewed all 1099-R forms and the casualties and theft areas in income and deductions, as well as scouring all the rest of the process.

 

Please help me fix this so I do not have to go back and start my entire return over. I am at wit's end.

 

Thanks.

I am having trouble figuring out which form to delete to get the checkmark off my tax return.

You have to look for "Qualified 2020 Disaster Retirement" and any Form 8915.

I had the same thing happen.  I clicked on View > Forms (Ctrl + 2 for PC).  In the Forms View, you can search for where the form is (Can't miss it.  There's an exclamation point in red next to it.).  It's not enough to delete the form.  You must uncheck the disaster on the preceding page.  That will delete the form for you.  Then you can proceed to the Review.  Hope that helps!
