The procedure above was for TurboTax Online. It’s different for TurboTax Desktop. Please see the TurboTax Help article How do I delete a tax form in the TurboTax CD/Download software? for guidance.
If you’re actually in TurboTax Online, see this slightly revised procedure:
-
If you’re on the Hi, let's keep working on your taxes! screen that displays the categories Personal Info, Income & Expenses, and others in the center of the screen, and none of those categories are open, click the dropdown next to any of the categories, then select the Review/Edit or Pick up where you left off button. If one of the categories is already open and has a Continue button, select the button
-
Next, in the pane on the left side of your screen, you should see Tax Tools. Select the dropdown to the right of Tax Tools
-
Then, under that, select Tools
-
In the Tool Center pop-up, select Delete a form.
-
Select Delete next to Form 8801 in the list and follow the onscreen instructions.
You’ll probably need to use this process for future returns. Simply deleting the form may not prevent the data from being generated later.
