What is the fastest way to delete the State form?

Turbo tax says use the state button in the left menu bar. It's not there. and how do I get there from the your federal return was accepted page? This software gets more cumbersome as years go by

To get back into your return after printing or e-filing, please follow these steps:

  1. In TurboTax Online, sign into your account.
  2. Select Tax Home in the left menu.
  3. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
  4. Select 2019, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right menu).
  5. Once you're in your return, you can navigate around as usual.

 

 

To remove a state from your return in TurboTax please follow these steps:

 

CD/Download [Desktop version]

  1. When you are in the federal return, click on File (in the black bar at the top of the screen) > Remove State Return. 
  2. A list of state returns currently in the return will appear.  Click on the one you want to delete to highlight it and click Remove.
