Error encountered on Review

[Petros333]

After clicking on Review, the program says there are a number of errors but when I want to continue to remedy the errors, I receive an "error" message saying Turbotax has to be closed. The first error was for a Form 3800 for which a carryforward credit was shown. I don't care about the credit since it requires much info from past year's returns, but I cannot delete Form 3800. Is this problem known and about to be remedied and, if not, how do I delete the Form 3800 (hoping that cures the issue)?

Sounds like something got stuck. You can try these things:

• Log Out Completely: Before doing anything else, click Sign Out in the TurboTax menu.
• Clear Cache and Cookies: This removes old, "corrupted" data that might be confusing the website.
• Use an Incognito (Private) Window: This is the most effective "quick fix" because it launches the browser without any saved history or extensions (like AdBlockers) that often interfere with tax forms.
• Check Pop-up Blockers: TurboTax often opens forms (like the 1099 PDF) or payment windows in a separate pop-up. Look at the right side of your address bar for a small icon with a "red X"—click it and select "Always allow pop-ups from Intuit."
• Restart the Browser: Close all open windows of your browser entirely and then reopen it.

Most TurboTax errors happen because the browser is trying to use an old "session" from a previous visit. By clearing the cache or using Incognito mode, you force the browser to establish a brand-new, secure connection with the Intuit servers.

If you are sure you don't need this form, you can delete it. 

If you are using:

• TurboTax Online: see How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?
• TurboTax Desktop:
  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.

Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.
