The form will also be created if you have a dollar value in box 10 of your W-2, indicating that you received some type of daycare benefit from your workplace, either a workplace provided daycare or a dependent care flexible spending account. If you have an item in box 10, then every time you delete form 2441, it will be re-created, and you must answer the remaining questions before you can file. If you did not have a flexible spending account or workplace provided daycare, go back and check your W-2 and make sure that you do not have an entry in box 10.

Same issue here!!! Infuriating! No! There’s nothing in box 10 of my W2 either

There must be some information on the form. Go back to the child care section and go through it. Delete providers, delete each section until it is truly blank. Then delete the form. As long as the program has information it feels is valuable, it will not delete the form.
