I have started a return that I do not wish to file . There is no "trash can" or delete button. How do I delete the information/ return from my account?

Note that when you delete a return, you won't be able to access it again, and we won't be able to retrieve the information for you.

 

The steps below outline how to delete a return for TurboTax Online: 

 

Sign in to TurboTax Online for the tax year of the return you’d like to delete

 

Go to "View all tax returns screen" and locate the return

 

If the return you want to delete has a trash can beside it:

 

Select the trash can icon

When prompted to confirm the deletion, select Delete

 

If the return you want to delete doesn't have a trash can beside it:

 

You will need to start a new return. On the page that displays your tax returns, you'll see two returns: the blank return you just created and the return you want to delete. Locate the return you want to delete and select its corresponding trash can icon. When prompted to confirm the deletion, select Delete.
