While trying to finalize and efile I get a message that I need to fix and entry on Form 2441. I would like to delete the whole form but can't seem to get to it.

You can still claim the child and dependent care credit when you're missing the provider's social security number or other taxpayer identification by demonstrating due diligence in attempting to secure this information.

Claim the childcare expenses on Form 2441, Child and Dependent Care Expenses, and provide the care provider's information you have available (such as name and address). Write "See Attached Statement" in the columns missing information. Explain on the attached statement that you requested the provider's identifying number, but the provider didn't give it to you. This statement supports use of due diligence in trying to secure the identifying information for the claim. You will file a paper return by mail to complete this process.

Remember it is federal law for the child care provider to have to provide their SSN information to you for tax purposes.

For more details on how to file if you cannot obtain their information, see this IRS link: How to claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit without provider info

I've deleted the form, followed by a confirmation.  yet, when I try to file it wants me to fix it by entering in the EIN.  I've done this multiple times and I can't get pass the "fix my return" stage. I'd like to take care of this by today and file my return or else I'd like a refund and will choose a different option.

Do you have an amount listed in box 10 of your W-2?

no, it's blank

Let me adjust the answer above..try using the second set of directions to delete the form, that has worked in the past.

same thing happens.  i get a confirmation of deletion but at the end it takes me to fix my return
