My taxes were rejected apparently for the EligibiltyRequirementMetInd, form 2441. My wife and I are Married Filing Separately.
The error also tells me that I need to resubmit on March 17.
After an extensive exchange with some really nice people on here it seems as though I need to delete form 2441. But I cannot remove it completely. When I go to form view and navigate to form 2441 and hit delete, it only clears the date. So when I go to the review screen I get all sorts of errors because the form is not filled out.
There is a lot of information on the web and on Turbo Tax about deleting 2441 using the online tool but nothing about Windows download.
Please help.

Form 2441 is used to report a dependent care credit or dependent care FSA. If you have an FSA, it is reported in box 10 of your W-2, and you must include form 2441 with your tax return. If you are married filing separately, you are not allowed to use the dependent care credit, but you can still use an FSA up to $2500. Form 2441 is required to reconcile your FSA with your qualified child care expenses, and report if any of the FSA is disallowed and needs to be added back to your taxable income.
The IRS has had several problems with false rejections of MFS tax returns with form 2441. If the IRS rejection message told you to resubmit on March 17, that is probably when they think their computer system will be fixed. Don't try and remove the form, if you manage to file without the form, and you have an FSA in box 10 of your W-2, that will trigger a rejection or audit.
