No, you do not need to clear and start over. In the TurboTax CD/Download version you can simply close your return and start a new tax return. Be sure to change the name of the file you no longer want to use.
You have the ability to create different scenario returns if you want as well. There are several options provided by @VolvoGirl as well and posted below for your convenience.
- "You can delete a tax return from within the TurboTax Windows Desktop Program on the very first screen after starting the program or go to File-Open. Click on the large square icon representing the file you wish to delete (avoid clicking the blue "Continue" button). Then just hit your delete key and answer the prompt.
- OR Start the program and on the first page click the blue Find A Tax File link at the bottom of the box. Then in the list that pops up you can right click on the file and choose delete.
- Or you can delete it from Windows. The tax files end in .tax2017 and should be in your Documents folder and then in a Turbo Tax subfolder.
- Or just start a new return, go to FILE - NEW and ignore the wrong one."
