How do I delete what appears to be an extra W-2 (for $0) in my state taxes? I have an error, and can't submit because I have one more than my Federal return now?

I don't know where this extra W-2 came from.  There is no company associated with it.  There is no obvious place to delete it when I select it on the worksheet that  Turbotax presents when I try to fix it.

You must delete a duplicate W-2 on the federal wages screen.

Please follow these steps in TurboTax:

1. Open your tax return. 
2. Search for W-2 with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page. 
3. Select the Jump to W-2 link at the top of the search results.
4. Select the trash can icon next to your duplicate W-2 to remove it.

Unfortunately that doesn't work.  In my Federal return I have four W-2's from four different employers.  All good.  However, when Turbo Tax reviews my State filing, it shows a 5th W-2 (with no employer or other info).  That's the problem.  It's just sitting there in the State W-2 listings, but not the Federal listings.  No idea how to delete it, and I can't move forward until I do.  I may just delete my State filing and start over for the State.  Appreciate any thoughts or comments.

If you need to delete a W-2 in your listings, see the information in this TurboTax FAQ here for assistance. You may need to delete your state return and re-enter your information. See the following link for instructions on how to do so. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-delete-my-state-return-in-turbotax-on...

Thank you.  I may delete the State return and start over.  If I do this, will I have to pay for my state return again?  Or since I've already paid it will recognize my payment for this 2nd attempt?

Never mind.  I see the answer in the link you provided.  I don't know how to proceed then.  I've paid for my State return, but it has this strange error that I can't fix, and it won't allow me to go forward.  Guess I'll file by paper.

Go back to the W-2 entry section in the FEDERAL tab and look at the summary ... do you have a line with ONLY a trash can on it ?   Is so delete the blank form there then return to the state interview and continue thru every screen until you reach the end of the state interview to let it reset.
