Here's the general procedure for deleting unwanted forms, schedules, and worksheets in TurboTax Online:

  1. Open your return in TurboTax. (To do this, sign in to TurboTax, and select the Take me to my return button.)
  2. In the left side bar, select Tax Tools> Tools.
  3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
  4. Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet and follow the onscreen instructions.
If you delete this form 2210, the IRS will figure the penalty for you.

I got a successful submission by using a suggestion from above (changing last years tax due to $0 and deleting Form 2210). THANKS TO YOU, USER GROUP FOLKS!!!  BOO to TT Management / Programming staff who must've been on a voluntary 35 day mental shutdown along with the Feds.

I have Windows desktop TurboTax Business & Home edition.  Here is how I deleted Form 2210 from my return.  First, be sure you do NOT need to file the form.  If you manually delete the form (switch to Form mode, find Form 2210 and then click on the "Delete Form" option) but it keeps re-appearing, here is how I forced its deletion.

Switch to the Step-by-Step approach (not the Forms view).  Go to Personal -> Other Tax Situations -> Underpayment Penalties (in the Additional Tax Payments section).  Say Yes to review the info.  Manually set your 2017 tax liability to $0.  Then go and delete form 2210.  I saved it and then did a print preview to ensure 2210 was gone.  When I filed, the Federal Return was accepted this time.

Note - make sure you definitely do not need the 2210 before you delete it!

Seemed to work. Know more in 10 minutes. Either way, thanks.

I have Mac home and business downloaded version and I did the thing under penalties where I put 0 instead of my 2017 tax liability. I have overpaid estimated taxes so I know I don't own an underpayment charge. Then I deleted for 2210 and it finally was really deleted for good. I just filed and will know in a few hours if I am accepted or rejected, but I am expecting that it worked since the 2210 form was actually gone.

RE:  Deletion of Form 2210 form 2018 TT Federal tax e-filing

1)  Be sure you do not need to include Form 2210 with the balance of your tax submittal.  This typically applies to taxpayers who make quarterly estimated tax payments on a regular basis, resulting in a small annual overpayment and, ultimately a refund from the IRS.

2)  I am using the Premier CD version of TT TurboTax for Windows.

3)  I found this solution among the many that have been "floated" recently on this TT Community forum.  I don't know who posted it, but it turned out to be a very simple solution for me and I can not take credit for it.

4)  I will posit it verbatim hereafter:  " Go to forms and open Form 2210.  Go to Part II Box A, right click and select override, click the X in block A, it will change to red, click on it again and it will disappear and so will Form 2210 in your list of tax forms."

5)  After doing this, I again e-filed my Federal tax return, after two previous rejections (with Form 2210 included), but without Form 2210 this time.  And, within less than an hour, my third submittal was "accepted" by the IRS! 

Hopefully, this will prove successful for many others who are struggling with the dilemma of Form 2210.  Good luck and hopefully no more wasted time,

Someone on here suggested the following and it worked for me:

Go to Federal Taxes, Other Tax Situation, Additional Tax Payments, Underpayment Penalties.  When 2017 tax liability box comes up, enter zero.  I did this and my return, that had previously been rejected, was accepted.  Good luck.   Too bad we have to figure this out minus help from TT !!!

10 MORE days to fix a problem that should have never occurred in the first place? INTUIT, my previous confidence in your product support is gone. If that's all you can do for TT customers on a relatively simple matter, I'm going to cancel my MINT, and I'm not going to buy QUICKBOOKS as planned. Looking for an apology and a refund / credit towards next year (if you're still around). Excuse my snarkiness, but can you tell I'm REALLY pissed off?
