I started doing taxes and mistakenly said I was self-employed now I need to just do a business return not "self-employed" how do I start over with the correct form?

What do you mean by business return? Here are the versions of TurboTax that might apply to you:

If you have a Corporation, Partnership or LLC that is treated as a Partnership or Corporation, you need TurboTax Business. That's available only as a CD or Download. 

If you are the Sole Proprietor of a business, or receive a 1099-MISC for Nonemployee Compensation, you need TurboTax Self-Employed.

If you are  just an employee with W-2s,   you can use any of the simpler versions that meet your requirements. See this page for a breakdown: https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/

To start your return over with a different version of TurboTax, go to the top of your screen, choose My Account, and Clear and Start Over. You will be able to choose the version you wish.
