Is anyone else having trouble deleting a 4797 form? I wrongly entered the sale of my primary home as 'sale of business property' (the gain should be tax exempt, except for a small amount of depreciation I took for renting out some rooms for a few years). I fixed the error and recorded the sale on form 8949 but now there is no way to delete the capital gain in the 'sale of business property' section. When I go to that section in the software, i have deleted all forms there yet the income still remains... any help would be appreciated!!

I have tried all the suggestions online and tried my own. The form keeps coming back. Wasted many hours with Turbotax sw glitch.

You have posted this same question many times and the correct answer is that you must remove the source of the form to delete the form.

You cannot just delete that form because it is autogenerated by some other entry ... you must remove the root cause to delete that form.

If you are using the downloaded version then switch to the FORMS mode and review that form to see what is generating it so you know what needs to be removed.

If you are using the online version then click on TOOLS and then PRINT CENTER to choose the option of a PDF with the worksheets.

It will not allow me to to preview my tax forms by selecting the print option without paying first. Therefore I cannot figure out how to delete the needed selections to delete forms 4797

Here's the general procedure for viewing the forms list and deleting unwanted forms, schedules, and worksheets in TurboTax Online:

Open your return in TurboTax. (To do this, sign in to TurboTax, and select Take me to my return.)
In the left-side menu, select Tax Tools > Tools.
In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the onscreen instructions.
