Thanks for your response, but every thing I have seen in detail of the comments as well as tax advisors say the IRS will expect a Schedule C if you do not report that you sold or disposed of a business. Just deleting the form can likely cause an audit 2-3 years down the road.

There should be somewhere in the initial interview where it asks if there is still a business - yet it does not ask me and just takes me right into Schedule C Business questions etc.
The county I live in charges you a self employment tax just for having a Schedule C and they also then want me to file for a business license. Regardless, I would like to remove this so it stops presuming I am running a self employed business on the side. Apparently in the Online version there is a place to say this business has stopped etc. But I see no where to do this in Desktop version and don't want to just delete a Form and then get audited 3 years from now. 🙂
