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.
Here is an update---this problem is being corrected.
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:
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 .
I tried deleting but it still wont let me! Please help! Thank you

Are you doing your Missouri tax return, or just trying to file for the Washington State Working Family Tax Credit?
in state section, there s WFTC application, after filling out, it turn out I am NOT qualify for the credit. when filing at the end , there's error need to fix, which show as below:
Delete the tax form in forms mode and try the submission again. To delete the form, follow these steps:
Replying to @Joshua1914 -- "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."
Thank you so much, I struggled so much before trying this and it worked! Turbotax better fix this issue. I didn't pay to encounter this sh1tty problem. Either make users to delete state tax without forcing to start over or fix the issue with WFTC.
I have no trash button in state page, when I hit edit it goes to the next screen. Is there any other way to get rid of this error?
Another way to efile if the info form cant be deleted is to proceed to efiling and do not put a check mark in filing state return. I efiled succesfully.
I did what others have done - since TT will not let you delete the WA state return once it's completed and we were not eligible for the WFTC, I just ignored it, selected E-File Federal return and selected "Do Not" E-File state return.
I don't plan to mail in a blank WA state return so I'm ignoring anything to do with the WA State part. It didn't even print anything when I printed the tax returns for my records. Federal return was E-Filed successfully. Hope that helps anyone who is stuck on this.
I've run into the same issue. No WA income. Not qualified for WFC. TT keeps telling me I have an error on my WA return, but also tells me I don't need to file a WA return if I don't qualify for WFC.
I am not checking the Efile option and won't email in my empty WA forms either.
Wish TT would fix this.
In TurboTax, click File --> Remove State Return --> Choose WA State --> Click Remove
You will need to follow the steps provided above to delete the Washington state return. Once the return is deleted you should be able to e-file. Since WA is a no income tax state there is no need to have a state return.
