To create a new return in TurboTax CD/Download, you can just click on the “Start New Return” button on the welcome page or choose New from under File in the top right corner. You can have different versions of a return for the same person, just make sure that when you save for the first time, you use File>Save As and give it a different name than the other files there. Ex: Jon_No_Expenses.tt18, Jon_with_Expenses.tt18, etc…

To delete a return in TurboTax CD/Download, you would have to navigate to where the files are on your PC and the delete them from there. By default, TurboTax keeps files in a folder in your Documents folder, ex: C:\Users\name\Documents\TurboTax\2018. You can also search your computer for .tt18 files, and also for the .ttbk backup files.
