how to delete a tax return I started in error

I have paid for Turbo Tax.  I started my joint return and figured out I had downloaded joint own investment accounts twice.  I deleted the forms, but they were still included in calculations.  I started over with a new return and have successfully efiled.  How do I remove / delete the incorrect return?  I saved the correct one under a different name.

You don't have to delete the prior return entries, but just make sure that you keep track of the new account for next year. If you really want to delete that information, you can "Clear and Start over". But it won't hurt if you just leave it in the old account. 

 

How do I clear and start over?
