Under tax tools I try to delete Form 8615 and my turbo tax account will say 'form successfully deleted' but when the page refreshed it is still there. I have gone through this process about a dozen times? How do I ensure it successfully deletes?

If you are required to file Form 8615, you can't get rid of it.

 

Form 8615 must be filed for any child who meets all of the following conditions.

  1. The child had more than $2,200 of unearned income.
  2. The child is required to file a tax return.
  3. The child either:
  1. Was under age 18 at the end of 2020,
  2. Was age 18 at the end of 2020 and didn’t have earned income that was more than half of the child's support, or
  3. Was a full-time student at least age 19 and under age 24 at the end of 2020 and didn’t have earned income that was more than half of the child's support.
    (Earned income is defined later. Support is defined below.)
  1. At least one of the child's parents was alive at the end of 2020.
  2. The child doesn’t file a joint return for 2020.

For these rules, the term “child” includes a legally adopted child and a stepchild. These rules apply whether or not the child is a dependent. These rules don’t apply if neither of the child’s parents were living at the end of the year.
