I can't uncheck something on a page, so it keeps asking me for a form i don't have

so I'm on the Minnesota Credits page, and it says:

"Select any of the following situations that apply to you.
- Paid Minnesota alternative minimum tax in a prior year
- Paid for child care, operated a licensed daycare facility or had a new baby
- Paid long-term care insurance premiums
- Had past military service
- None of the above"

...and it has the first item, "Paid Minnesota alternative minimum tax in a prior year" automatically checked. If I uncheck it an/or check "None of the Above" it asks me for forms in the next page related to it, and if I go back it's automatically checked again.

It sounds as if something transferred incorrectly from the previous year.  If you paid MN Alternative minimum tax in a prior year, but not this year you may be eligible for a tax credit.

 

Since you didn't pay AMT last year, you can just delete Schedule M1MT, Alternative Minimum Tax from your MN return.  To do this, please follow these steps:

 

 

TurboTax Online

  1. While in your return, click on Tax Tools > Tools (in the black bar at the side of your screen). 
  2. Under "Other helpful links" click on Delete a form. Click Delete next to the appropriate form or schedule and follow the onscreen instructions. Once you have finished deleting the desired form(s) click the Continue with My Return box (in the lower right of your screen).

TurboTax CD/Dowload

  1. Go into Forms Mode by clicking on the Forms icon in the top right of the blue bar.  In the Forms in My Return list on the left, click on the form you wish to open and delete.  Click on the Delete Form box at the bottom of the screen.
  2. To return to the interview, click on the Step-By-Step icon in the top right of the blue bar.
