❌ Troubleshooting: Why a form can’t be removed
❌ Sometimes a form cannot be removed if:
If you used the Interview Sheet or SureFire Install Version Interview and the answer to a question on the Interview caused a particular form to be loaded automatically in the return, you will not be able to delete the form until you change the answer on the Interview Sheet or SureFire Install Version Interview.
If you selected an entry on one form that caused a different form to be loaded automatically in the return, you will not be able to remove the second form until your change the entry on the first form.
Example: If you selected the Dependent Care box for a dependent on the Main Information Sheet, Form 2441 will be loaded automatically. You will not be able to remove Form 2441 from the return as long as the box on the Main Information Sheet is selected.
