  4. Scroll down to Less Common Income

  6. Look for a button that says delete or remove.

Sometimes, it ay be necessary to delete Form 2555 from your return.  To do so:

  5. Scroll down the list of forms. Scroll to form 2555.  if it isn't there, don't be concerned.,
  6. Select delete.
  7. Recheck your forms to see if it has been deleted.

If you using the software installed on your computer, go to the Forms mode in your return and delete the form directly from there.
