Form 2210

Is there a way to remove or suppress Form 2210? It is calculating for every single 1040 and it is not applicable in 90% of the returns. 

Updated: The Form 2210 is calculating on every single 1040. All of these are simple, no balance due mostly never had a balance due. I checked the box to have the IRS calculate the penalty and the box #9 "No you don't owe a penalty. Don't file form 2210 unless box E below applies". Neither of these remove the Form 2210. I have updated the program. I have looked in global options to see if there's an option to exclude unless penalty is calculated. I'm stumped.

UPDATE Per ProSeries: Form 2210 populates with every tax return because of IRS requirements. In the printing set up, make sure 2210 is "if required" for FC, CC & PC. If the form is not applicable to a specific return, check box B and C and "no" in box 9 on the 2210. The form will not print or efile but will remain a form in use on the tax return. If the form is required, it is not ready to efile until 2/25/21.

I am not sure, but is there a box to check to have the IRS calculate the penalty?

Yes, there is on the Form 2210 but it doesn't remove the form. I need it removed because it is calculating on every 1040 and the form isn't final until 2/25. There is no reason for us to wait for this form to finalize when it shouldn't even be populating in the first place.

Check to see under print options if you checked the box to always print form 2210.
