Downloading MMS messages without using mobile data can be tricky since MMS typically requires a data connection to download the media content. However, here are some workarounds I've used successfully:Use Wi-Fi instead of mobile data: This is the simplest solution! Make sure your phone is connected to Wi-Fi before opening the MMS. Most carriers will use Wi-Fi for downloading MMS content if it's available, avoiding mobile data usage.Change your APN settings: Some carriers allow you to configure your phone to use Wi-Fi for MMS downloads. You might need to:1. Go to Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network2. Access your Access Point Names (APN)3. Check if there's a setting for MMS over Wi-FiThird-party messaging apps: Apps like Google Messages or Textra sometimes handle MMS downloads differently and might give you more control over when and how media is downloaded.Carrier-specific solutions: Some carriers have their own messaging apps that optimize data usage. For example, Verizon Messages or T-Mobile's advanced messaging.The reality is that MMS was designed to use cellular data, so completely bypassing data usage isn't always possible. Your best bet is ensuring you're on Wi-Fi when you know you're receiving media messages.

Removing Form 2441 (Child and Dependent Care Expenses) from TurboTax is something I've helped friends with before. Here's how to do it:If you haven't filed yet:1. Go through the Federal Taxes section in TurboTax2. Navigate to Deductions & Credits3. Look for Child and Dependent Care or Form 24414. Instead of entering information, look for an option to remove or delete the form5. You can usually say "I don't want to claim this" or "This doesn't apply to me"Alternative method:1. Use the Search function in TurboTax and type "2441"2. Select "Jump to Form 2441"3. Remove any information you've entered4. The form should disappear from your returnImportant considerations:- Only remove this form if you're sure you're not eligible for dependent care credits- If you paid for child care so you could work, you might actually qualify- Double-check with a tax professional before removing if unsureIf you've already filed: You'll need to file an amended return using Form 1040-X, which is more complicated. In this case, it might be worth consulting a tax professional.TurboTax has pretty good help articles on their website about managing forms - searching "remove form TurboTax" usually brings up specific instructions. The key is going back through the interview process and indicating that the dependent care expenses don't apply to your situation.
