Yup, someone reported it yesterday that it started happening after they did an update.

No idea where it's coming from (or what it means) but yes... showing up on filed and unfiled returns.... I think the moderators all left for summer vacation....  no clue

Yeah, but worse, it won’t let me delete it! I keep trying remove the form, but it doesn’t! Anyone know how to do it?

Glad to see I'm not the only one!  Inexplicable!

per the link I posted "you can override the wording to leave it blank"

Well, glad to know it's not because I entered something weird to generate this.

Thanks for posting this issue.

They did this the same day they started issuing renewal notices for next year's program.  Sign up now and you'll get the password for removing the glitch.  

This just showed up on 4-23-26 in a tax return that is to be filed. How do I get rid of it?

For now, you can't

Just spoke to Intuit. Still working on it.

would like to know if I efile with the weird statement since I can’t dump it, do you think the IRS will know it’s erroneous? Intuit says yes, no problem. Would like some opinions please.

thanks.

I haven't updated since this issue popped up, but if the issue hasn't created any bogus numbers to float around in the returns it shouldn't hurt anything e-filing the return.

Just as the major religions of the world cannot agree on the true path to God, there are different beliefs about how to provoke an audit by IRS.  Take your pick. 

1) We know enough about the IRS audit selection process and this is not something that would cause them to look at a return. 

2) We doubt that even IRS knows today how it will go about selecting returns for audit next year, so it cannot be known whether this makes any difference.  

YES, my AI says there is No Fix Yet.  Really, really frustrating, I think it is harmless but I still need to document it in my workpapers just in case it creates an issue a year or two down the road.
