You may be able to remove the form by:

 

  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Tax Tools.
  • Click on Tools.
  • Click on Delete a form.
  • Find the form listed and click Delete to the right.

However, if the form re-generates, that means that there is an entry in the software that needs to be removed or changed.

 

If this is the case, return back to the point in the software where the questions that populate the form are asked.

 

Try the following steps if you are using TurboTax Online to see if the error message will clear:

 

  • Go to Federal on the left side of the screen
  • Go to Wages & Income on the left side of the screen
  • Scroll to the bottom of the section without making any changes and click Done with Income or Wrap Up Income
  • Continue moving forward until you see a question about whether you took a disaster distribution in 2020 and select 'No'
  • Run the Federal Review again to see if the error has cleared.

No matter what I do, form 8915F keeps reappearing after I delete. I have gone through all my forms/questions and they all show NO for for any/all disaster plans. It is preventing me from filing my federal return.

HELP!

Thanks

This problem sounds like you need to clear your tax return and start over.

 

If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2022 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.

I am running downloaded software on my PC.   I can't seem to get this form to go away.  I've stated that I've taken no disaster relief  and deleted the form - yet here we are.  DO you really have to start over???

Unfortunately yes. Sorry. Nothing else worked for me.

There is a Form 8915 E that generated From 8915 F. Go 8915E and uncheck Disaster, then FROM 8915 will disappear

I found that the only way to get rid of this was to delete any forms  8915 .  This includes a worksheet.  When I did this, the return was fine.   Good luck everyone.     I also believe this is a Turbo Tax error!!!

It's a pain in the @ss11_2 to have to do that, but it worked!  TurboTax needs to tweek this very irritating flaw.

I searched for ANY form having "8915" on it and deleted them all.  Only after that did the warning and refusal to e-file go away.
