You may have accidentally marked that you have adoption expenses in the information-gathering questions.   You will need to delete the form created in your tax file to proceed.

 

To delete a specific form in TurboTax Online you can follow these steps:

  1. Within your return, click on Tax Tools in the black menu on the left side of the screen.
  2. Click on Tools.
  3. Click on Delete a Form. 
  4. Scroll down to your Adoptive Child Worksheet and/or Adoption Carryover Computation Wksht and click Delete.
  5. Under Federal in the black menu bar click Wages & Income to get back into your tax returns.
  6. Proceed entering/reviewing your return.
