It looks like a TutboTax glitch/bug: on running "Federal Review" step, TT asks me to enter Employee's Withholdings Certificate W-4 for my unemployed wife. It displays this form saying fields are not filled and can't move forward leaving them blank, but my wife is not employed and never was, and I've never specified her as such. All I tried to do is to estimate W4 for myself in "Other Tax Forms" section, and now it asks me to enter the form for my wife and I do not know how to get rid of it. If I go to that W4, click "Update" and say that I do not want to adjust witholdings or do estimated tax, it still shows the form and I do not know how to get rid of the form now.

Well, when I manually set all fields of the form to empty values, it's not enough, TT keeps asking me to fill in W4. What I did instead I opened the form in TT form editor and clicked on the checkbox saying to leave all values blank. That seems to get the issue resolved, but it's so weird I have to do it manually in form editor, and had to search for the solution for hours. There is no way to revert it once you open W4 withholdings wizard, which seems to me a bug or unfinished feature.
