I know that I don't qualify for the WFTC but it won't allow me to electronically file my taxes. I have never filed on paper before.

E-filing is not yet open.    WA has no state income tax, so you have no state return to worry about trying to file for WA.   You will only e-file a federal return.

The link does not work that you provided. Do you know if there has been any update with this problem? It is still not allowing me to e file because i don't qualify for the WFTC which I already knew. I have never had to send in paper tax docs before so not sure whats going on.

You should be able to delete any WA information. You should file the federal.  If you are using:

  • Online: see How do I view and delete forms in TTO?
  •  Desktop: If you are working in the cd/download TurboTax program:
    1. On the top right, there is a FORMS button. 
    2. Click on FORMS.
    3. Locate the form you want to delete.
    4. Click on the form name.
    5. Below the form, bottom left, select DELETE FORM button.

The same thing is happening to me. The expert says to delete forms but what forms am I supposed to delete?

What state are you filing a return in, @desireegepke69?   Can you clarify and provide some more details regarding your situation, are you receiving any error messages?

It says that I don't qualify for the WFTC and I do not qualify to electronically file my taxes. I have never had to file by paper and don’t want to have to.

You can see if the tax credit application is included in your tax documents and if so delete it as follows:

 

1. Choose the Tax Tools option on your left menu bar

2. Choose Tools

3. Choose the Delete a form option under Other Helpful links 

4. Find the working working families tax credit worksheet (WFTC) in the list and delete it

This does not work when I go to delete forms in the tools section it tells me the Washington information form which is triggering the WFTC prompt can not be deleted. Does any one have any other ways to resolve this.

If you're not required to file a Washington state return (for capital gains tax) and you don't qualify for the credit, you should be able to delete the Washington return overall.

 

When you're in your TurboTax Account, click on Your State Returns on the left hand panel.

 

 

On the Status of your state returns page, you should see Washington listed. Click the trash can next to the Edit button.

 

 

Try this and let us know if that helped!

I had this issue. I fixed it when filing go back to home and click on state click the trash button and it will force you into a new screen that says continue. Don’t hit continue just click the home button on the top right and finish filing .

Are you doing your Missouri tax return, or just trying to file for the Washington State Working Family Tax Credit?
