Yeah, I agree with the others. This is BS.

I accidentally changed over to self-employed and now I cannot go back without starting over??

Arg!

Or one thing you can do is buy a lower version of the Desktop program like Deluxe. Then you can switch from Online without starting over. You can download the .tax2020 file from online for free and open it in the Desktop program (any version). And the Desktop program has several other features and benefits over the Online version too.

Are you kidding me? I selected Deluxe and then Turbo tax automatically changed to self employed as that is that it was last year. Now I have to re-enter everything? After 9 years with this company, I can't believe there is not a way to fix this besides starting all over??? Please tell me this is not true...

You can downgrade using the clear and start over feature. However, you will be required to restart your return.

In TurboTax Online, you can erase your return and start from scratch as long as you haven't submitted payment, deducted the TurboTax fee from your refund, or registered.

If you haven't already done so, sign in at TurboTax.com and select the blue Take me to my return button.
On the welcome back screen, in the left-side menu, select Tax Tools, and then select Clear & Start Over (click or tap the 3 lines in the upper-left corner if you don't see this menu).
Answer Yes in the pop-up to confirm.
