I entered in a line item twice and cannot figure out how to delete it.

Typically, you’d delete the form that the line item was on.

To do so in TurboTax Online, open your return in TurboTax and:

  1. Select Pick up where I left off, if that’s on the screen

  2. In the menu on the left, select Tax Tools, then Tools.

  3. In the Tool Center pop-up, select Delete a form.

  4. Select Delete next to the form related to the line item and follow the onscreen instructions.

If this will be too intrusive, please provide more information on the line item – where you entered it, what form, what section of TurboTax.  A little more detail would be helpful.

On PA STATE TAX RETURN, It won't let me file electronically saying on form PA-40 GROSS COMPENSATION WORKSHEET W-2 list item:

 

"you may NOT enter any more W-2s than you have entered on your Federal return. Please delete all the entries on any extra line items you may have entered."

 

When checking, I see some income source item called "UNTITLED". It seems to be some "business" that I don't have. I only have (1) W-2 from US Military (Active Duty)

 

I never entered this "untitled" thing.
I cannot find where to delete it.
I have tried numerous times.
I am going around in circles now.


Please assist

1. Where did this come from if I never entered it?

2. How to delete it?

To clarify, what TurboTax program are you using? (Online or Desktop) 

Are you able to go to Wages & Income, scroll through and look at the entries?

I actually DELETE the PA return and started over.

That resolved the problem

Who knows how it got there?
Whatever!
