Getting rid of a "Ex-spouse " from that file is difficult.....it is usually strongly recommended that ex-spouse's both start entirely new tax accounts. Making sure to download the old PDF files from all the prior years of tax returns first...in case you lose access to that older account.

You can certainly "try" to eliminate him...first get inside the 2020 tax file, then go over to the tools menu, and find the "Clear and Start Over" selection ( YES..start over )....but when you do so, you must make sure you make an additional selection to NOT not transfer in any of the data from last year's tax return. That "might" eliminate him from the 2020 file. No promises.
If you've gone to far along in the Federal section (registered, or filed Federal, or paid for 2020 )...you may not be allowed to clear and start over.
