Delete the Form 2210. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on Delete a form
Form 2210 can not be deleted on windows 10 cd home and business. When I try to delete it then it comes back and says not filled out yet.
I am having this problem too. what is going on with this . I have already spent 6 hours trying to delete the form
looks like a software issue that turbo folks need to fix
This started with the latest update. Something's wrong. I'm getting a refund.
There is a known problem. See this TurboTax support FAQ - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4608028-check-this-entry-form-2210-part-ii-box-a-should-not-be-checked">https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4608028-check-this-entry-form-2210-part-ii-box-a-should-not-be-checked</a>
It sure is sad that no one at turbo tax told their own support staff about this problem. I called and had a TT support person "help" me she had me delete my cookies and cache. Of course did not help. Then she said it was strange and I should just ignore it. TT should be ashamed of themselves.
When I posted to a different thread (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/7184663">https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/7184663</a>) about this problem, instead of offering a solution or even offering to help, SteamTrain posted this instead and closed the thread:
"ALL...THIS SOLUTION IS FORM A YEAR AGO !!
It does not apply to the problem incurred by the 14 Feb 2019 software update
...start a NEW question, and "eventually", a NEW solution will be found.
SteamTrain 10 hours ago"
That's called "Shoot the Messenger". Shame on both of you, TT and SteamTrain. Now you have TWO demerits.
I encountered this problem using Turbo Online today. You can't simply delete form 2210, it is automatically regenerated to your return before you complete filing, then in just loops you back to the error. I got my federal and state returns rejected for this. Very unhappy.
Doug, this happened to me too. 2 times. Then I figured out how to do it and eFiled successfully last evening both Federal and State. Then, BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!, I got an email today from "TurboTax Customer Solutions" advising that the "return cannot be electronically filed. You must print and file your return by mail." That's astonishingly wrong and irresponsible!! So I immediately posted a feedback explanation to the linked site (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4612553-electronic-filing-rejection-code-f2210-003">https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4612553-electronic-filing-rejection-code-f2210-003</a>) in the Yes/No feedback area (limited to 100 characters – can you believe it??). Of course, they have not displayed my feedback, and they have not corrected their erroneous advisory email. So, here's the answer: If Line A is checked, then click Explain under Line B and fill in the Additional Information Explanation Statement form with: "85% Waiver". Yes, it's invisible and redundant w/r to Form 2210, but it satisfied the Feds and got my electronic return accepted. And shame on TT for not fixing this and for not updating after I told them about the workaround!!!!
Well, now instead of correcting their erroneous advice, they incorporated their email mistake an hour ago into the above linked page, telling people they have to print and file via mail. This looks like it could impact large numbers of people who were under-withheld and who properly covered it via estimated tax payments. And TT is now telling them all that they cannot eFile, which is simply not true. And they are doing it on purpose because I've reported (the only way I could find) directly to that web page, as well as here. So they know! Incredible!!
The "85% Waver" comment on Line B worked like a charm. Thank you so much.
That only works for desktop version right? I have online and can't do what your suggesting.
Try this workaround for the online editions -
Click on Federal > Click on Other Tax Situations > Under Additional Tax Payments choose Underpayment Penalties - Answer the on-screen questions, except set the amount owed in 2017 to 0, leave the rest at the default settings that TT imported and Form 2210 will be left off your e-file. After you've answered the questions, you can confirm Form 2210 has been removed by going to Tax Tools > Tools > Delete a Form. It will then show you a giant list of all of the forms in your return. 2210 should not be in it.
My version is desktop. I’ve never used the online version. Maybe there is some other way to create an Additional Information Explanation Statement form in the online version? I’m guessing the Feds just want Line A explained, and TT’s auto-fill doesn’t work, but attaching an explanation to Form 2210 does work, regardless of how the Explanation is triggered (in my case, triggered via Line B). That’s my theory, anyway.
This workaround isn't working for me (Basic version on the Mac). On form 2010, I click the "Explain" box on Line B, and add "85% Waiver" to the explanation page. But the explanation page isn't included on my return when I e-file. I've been rejected three times as a result. Am I missing something?
My version is TurboTax Premier desktop/Mac. The "Additional information from your 2018 Federal Tax Return" page printed as the last page of my printed Federal Return, after the "ELECTRONIC POSTMARK - CERTIFICATION OF ELECTRONIC FILING" page, and before the start of the State return pages. It did not print next to Form 2210. It printed dead last before the State pages. Here is the content:
Additional information from your 2018 Federal Tax Return
Form 2210: Underpayment of Estimated Tax (Copy 1)
Line 17 Explanation Statement
Waiver Explanation Statement
85% Waiver
disappointed...this happened to me and putting 0 in the 2017 owed worked (DoninGA comment above). This seems like a legitimate answer since my 2017 return did not include form 2210. After reading on the IRS website, it seems all of this is moot anyway since the IRS instructions for form 2210 implies that the government will calculate the penalty if the form is not included. I am content to have the form removed and rely on the IRS to calculate the penalty (which should be none) over TurboTax. I never thought I would type that sentence. Hopefully my comment is helpful to someone else as that is the only way I can feel like the universe got something out of the three hours I wasted fixing this problem and then reading the IRS form. TurboTax has too many competitors and charges too much to do this poor of a job fixing (or not fixing) this issue.
What finally worked for me is going to Federal > Click on Other Tax Situations > Under Additional Tax Payments > Underpayment Penalties Then changed the owed amount in 2017 to 0. Then deleted the 2210 form, and IGNORED the warning that popped up that my returns had been rejected and submitted them anyway. Shortly got a message saying the return had been accepted. I pay way too much to TT to be spending three or four hours figuring out a workaround for this problem.
dougandersonarts is 100% correct on how to fix the Form 2210 underpayment error problem with the TT saying there are no errors but the return being rejected by the IRS...when you are in the Underpayment Penalties section simply set the 2017 tax paid to 0. This solves the problem by setting your minimum expected 2017 withholding to zero and so WILL NOT trigger the 2210 form at all regardless of what your witholding or estimated payments were....This is definitely both a programming and quality testing issue with TT and should not be happening. The other error I found was the way the 2210 worksheets were not including any of your 2018 estimated payments in the calculations as to whether you met the 85% threshold of total tax withheld/estimated against your 2017 total tax liability. I know this is a technicality, but I have heard directly from the IRS that they are not going to penalize for underpayment this year if you file on time given the tax law changes and their shutdow....so why then is TT even including a Form 2210 in their package?
Just be clear that if your 2017 tax paid was NOT zero, then setting it to zero for your return this year is to willfully falsify your taxes. I'm not trying to be cute. I imagine there won't be consequences, and none of this should still be going on if TT would just do their job and fix this, but personally, I would not knowingly file a false return, even for this. So, I'm just saying – be clear what you're doing if you decide to do that.
