I have a client who had a tax liability in 2020, withheld more in 2021 than that liability, and due to Child Credit/Earned Income Credits will owe nothing in 2021. Expecting a large refund. Form 2010 appears on the return. I have not checked box to allow IRS to calculate penalty and then unchecked it - no penalty is calculated, but I cannot remove the form. It shows in the return as NOT READY TO FILE. I do not want it to stop e-filing tomorrow - how can I eliminate the 2210 from the return?

so you think turning off the error checking would let the return EF when it contains an unfinalized form that isnt needed, but cant be deleted?

@Just-Lisa-Now- I believe all returns list the 2210 under forms in use, but if you don't owe, or have no requirement to use 2210, then that form is not filed, and you can efile even if the 2210 is not needed. I do know I efile returns not needing the 2210 before the form is ready with no problems. I did not have to turn off error checking. When you run review no error will show up, because you are not using 2210

If your client has no penalty the form will not file, and will not prevent you from efiling. You can't delete the form.

I believe you are indicating that it will not prevent the return from being e-filed - great! However, it still appears in forms with a DO NOT FILE watermark on the Form when I create a PDF to send to the client or a printed version. Do I have to choose the forms to print and eliminate this one before printing?

I always do a "print preview" then check or uncheck the boxes so I only print what I need. For me this is faster than choosing forms to print

2210 isnt final and ready for filing, you'll have to wait to EF that return until its ready....shows 3/17 as of right now, hopefully it will happen sooner, lots of returns will be stuck waiting for this form. Its not picking up the correct current information when they had a balance due in 2020.

@Just-Lisa-Now- You can efile a return that isn't required to file 2210. The only holdup will be folks that owe and have to file the form. The form shows up in forms in use even when you don't need it.
