I selected the process spouses return option but do not wish to and box is greyed out

How do I remove the option? I have completed both of the returns separately. When I updated the first return to be common-law it now opens the spousal return as blank. Don't wish to reenter so want to unselect but can't.

Unfortunately, in TurboTax, there is no way to remove a spouse/partner once you have started to prepare your returns together. You would need to create a new return and choose to prepare the return without your spouse/partner.

 

To start a new return, select “Start a New Return” from under “My Returns” in the top left corner. Once you have started your new return, you can select “View All Returns” from under “My Accounts & Returns”. Then delete the unwanted return by clicking the small Trash Can next to it or “Delete” under the return’s name.

Thanks for response. That’s exactly what I ended up doing. Kathy
