Already removed adult child as a dependent, but it continues to reflect errors that preclude efile.  It requires a link to a Dependent Worksheet for 1098-T and name of Dependent but there is no Dependent and no 1098-T.   I've already reviewed the instructions on this, but they don't work:  "The best way – and often the only way – to delete income forms (including forms W-2, 1098, 1099, and K-1) is to do it from the summary screen for that particular form.  For example, the summary screen for Form W-2 displays the W-2(s) you entered and has buttons to edit, delete, or add another W-2.  So try that first – simply search for the form number, click its jump-to link, and see if that takes you to a summary screen. In the previous W-2 example, searching for W-2 and then selecting the "Jump-to" link in the search results takes you to the Here's your W-2 info screen, where you can remove it by selecting Delete."

Here is the general procedure for viewing the forms list and deleting the 1098-T and Form 8863.  You must remove both Forms.  

  1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
  2. In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
  3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
  4. Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.
