If you're using TurboTax Online, unfortunately there is no way to add or remove your spouse after you have started your return. The only option is to start a new return so that you can see the question “Let's get started. Who are you preparing this return for?” again.

To create a new return, click on “Tools” in the black menu in the top right, and select “Return Manager”. You can create a new return by scrolling to the bottom of the list and clicking "Continue" next to "Start a new 2017 return".

If you're using the CD/Download version of TurboTax:

Sadly, there is no way to remove your spouse after you have started your return together. The only option is to start a new return, and Select “Yes” at “Do you want to prepare your returns together”.
