You can simply stop where you are in the process of your return if you do not want to complete your filing with us.

Once a tax return has been filed it cannot be changed, canceled or retrieved


You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.


Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.


See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=ld1n99kr

If you're using TurboTax Online, and have decided not to Efile, you don't need to do anything, if you didn't actually go through the FILE section and pay for Efiling.

 

If so, Contact TurboTax Support and use the 'Billing' option to request a refund. 

 

Here's How to Clear and Start Over to delete everything from your return.
