Form 1040X is used to amend or correct a return that was already filed.  If you have not filed a return yet and you are not looking to amend your return, then you should just delete the form.  To do this:

 

Here are the steps to delete your Form 1099-X:

 

  1. Open your return.
  2. Go to Tax Home
  3. Select Tax Tools in the left menu
  4. Click on Tools
  5. A pop-up will come out called Tool Center
  6. Select Delete a form
  7. Select Delete next to the Form 1099-X that you want to delete

If you are using TurboTax Online, please follow the instructions in this TurboTax Help article to delete a form.

 

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, please follow the instructions in this TurboTax Help article to delete a form.

You probably clicked on Amend to get back into your return.  You should click on Add a State (you won't actually be adding a state) to let you back in.
