How can Form 8615 be deleted? Can't delete under tax tools because of an "interview" question? How can that be changed? Can't clear and start over either.

I am having this same issue, but didn't find the question mentioned, is there a way to reanswer that question not through the first box in the Personal Info?

You're asking a question in an old thread, so you might want to provide your specific information.

That said, to edit your Form 8615:

1. Log in to your TurboTax Online account.
2. Select Take me to my return or Pick up where you left off.
3. Type Form 8615 in the search box (magnifying glass) in the upper right corner of TurboTax Online, and enter
4. Select the Jump to form 8615 link
5. You'll be able to make any changes necessary on the ensuing screens

To delete Form 8615, please see the TurboTax Help article How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online? for guidance.

If you're required to file Form 8615, you can't delete it.

According to Who Must File in the Instructions for Form 8615:

Form 8615 must be filed for any child who meets all of the following

conditions.

1. The child had more than $2,500 of unearned income.

2. The child is required to file a tax return.

3. The child either:

a. Was under age 18 at the end of 2023,

b. Was age 18 at the end of 2023 and didn’t have earned income that was more than half of the child's support, or

c. Was a full-time student at least age 19 and under age 24 at the end of 2023 and didn’t have earned income that was more than half of the child's support.

4. At least one of the child's parents was alive at the end of 2023.

5. The child doesn’t file a joint return for 2023.

For these rules, the term “child” includes a legally adopted child and a stepchild. These rules apply whether or not the child is a dependent. These rules don’t apply if neither of the child’s parents were living at the end of the year.

I am not required to fill out the form, I do not meet all of the requirements. I made 700$ in unearned income. not 2500$

How do I get to the automated question, where it stops me from having to fill in the Form 8615?
