I can't delete the IRC section 195(b)(1). The answer posted no longer works. There is no way to get into the "My Account" page, no "Jump to" option either

Old thread, but I ran into the same issue. Hopefully this helps someone in the future:

 

The answer didn't help me since startup costs weren't listed in my EXPENSES section. The form is also absent under Tax Tools. However, I was able to resolve the issue by adding startup costs THEN subsequently removing them. Upon continuing with my return and reviewing, I was no longer prompted for this form.
