How do you delete a form when the Delete command in the downloaded version is not working?

Returns are being rejected because an unnecessary form 7206 cannot be deleted using the Delete button on the form screen.

Have you reported self-employed health insurance premiums or SEP/SIMPLE from a W-2, under Schedule C or Schedule K-1? Any of these forms may trigger 7206, which cannot be deleted unless the underlying form entry is removed.

Your best option is to use Forms Mode (TurboTax Desktop only) and open Form 7206 in the forms list (there may be more than one). If there is an amount on Line 1, Line 2, or Line 9A, right-click the amount and choose "Data Source." This will bring up a window with the name of the form where the number came from. You may need to repeat this step until you find a number in blue. This is a manual entry that can be deleted.

Once the 7206 is completely blank, you should be able to delete it from the return (use the Delete Form button at the bottom of the form).

I've gotten the same rejection notice.

There is nothing in 1, 2 or 9A in my case. The problem is that 1 has not populated in the form, but the SE deduction has populated in Schedule 1, line 17 (probably as a result of entering 1095-A). Entering the deduction on line 1 of 7206 causes the deduction to double up. There is no way to override Schedule1, line 17 to avoid the double up.

I cannot delete 7206, and have tried everything, including zeroing out all entries. It keeps popping up after I delete it.

Rather than restate the problem, have a look at these threads:
