How do I delete all information on Easy Step. Want to do a coupled return, one deceased part way through the tax year........do I do a seperate reture for the deceased

You don't have to do two separate returns in this situation. Start a new tax return. Select "Married" as your marital status. Then, select yes to the question "Do you want to prepare your returns together?" and yes to the question "Are you preparing one or both of these returns for a deceased person?"

I could only find these options when starting a new return. If you have already started a uncoupled return you may have to start again.
