While filing tax return, at the very end it says some of my tax forms aren't ready. And if I look it says "School Cr Res" which cannot e-file. I redid everything and made sure I didn't misclick, but it still appears at the end. Why?

I have no dependents, or children, on my returns. I just ran back through to make sure. (again)

It even says "You don't qualify for a 2020 child and dependent credit"
"You don't qualify for a school expense credit"

And still it's like that form is required. I'll wait until 1/28, and if it isn't fixed or something, guess I'll post back/have to call...Otherwise I can't file my state return.

If you do not believe you need the form, you can also try to remove it from the program.

In TurboTax online,

1. Sign in to your account, select Pick up where you left off

2. To your left, Select Tax Tools/drop-down menu

3. Select Tools

4. Under Other helpful links, choose to Delete a form

5. Select Delete next to Form R-10614 and Continue with My Return to proceed

Wait to Efile your return until all your Forms are Ready.

The School District Credit form will have instructions on where to mail it when you print or save your return.

Here's more info on the School District Credit.

I do not understand why that form is necessary, I shouldn't have any school related form related to my tax return.

The Louisiana School Readiness Credit is not unnecessary for filing your state tax return, but it may save you money. Louisiana provides a tax credit to some parents who have children in day care. If that applies to you, that is why you are seeing questions about the form.

You may qualify for the credit if you claimed a Louisiana child care credit and your incurred child care expenses for a qualified dependent under age 6 who attended a child care facility that is participating in the Quality State rating program.

You cannot e-file if you claim this credit because Louisiana requires you to attach Form R-10614, which is available from your day child care facility.

If you do not wish to claim this credit, uncheck any dependents and TurboTax will skip the credit.
