Question

TurboxTax is including 8943 with the box for Form 8949 checked (last box) so I deleted all the Schedule D info etc and it's still checked; this makes no sense!

Previously there was a Schedule-D for a class action lawsuit (return of capital on shares sold in 2018) which I'd entered directly (block f checked). So it made sense. I deleted that but 8943 remained there with the box checked so I deleted everything in Schedule D. There's no clue as to why the box is checked; I can see no way (e.g. right click/show data source does not exist).

"I deleted that but 8943 remained there with the box checked...."

Rather than 8943, are you referring to IRS form 8949 Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets?

If so, I think that you want to remove the form from your income tax return.

What transaction does the IRS form 8949 with box F checked report? That would be the income that needs to be removed.

My apologies; form *8453*; form 8949 does not have "[a] box for Form 8949 checked (last box)".

In my repro .tax2023 file that shows the bug I have 8453 with the last entry "checked" and there is no form "8949" in the return. As I said I had deleted all the Sched D stuff (i.e. all the 1099-B's) from the return.

The bug still repros. "Error check" etc all pass without the form (overriding the checkbox, which causes the form to disappear) so that's a work-round.

Do you have an uploaded PDF file that has not yet been removed from TurboTax Online? That may be what is triggering the IRS form 8453 with form 8949 checked.

If so, click Documents in the upper left hand corner of the screen. You may see a PDF file uploaded into the TurboTax software.

To remove, click the three dots to the far right and select Delete.
