Why is turbo tax trying to file a form 2441 for me?

I have no child and dependent care expenses to report. Yet, in the Review it says I have to correct empty fields in my form 2441.  I accidently started that section but went back and made sure that it now thinks I am no longer eligible.  And I deleted the form 2441 in my "Tax tools".  Still, the review at the end says I need to correct these blank entries in form 2441. I should not be filling a form 2441, I don't have any eligible dependents.

I still do not know why it happened but I found my own solution.  I wiped all the data I had entered this year and started over.  Annoying and time consuming but it fixed whatever issue Turbo Tax was having.

@ee-ea   Did you post that link on the wrong question?  Or paste the wrong link?

if you had input qualified expenses next to the dependent name listed in the dependent worksheet; it would generate a form 2441.
