I have deleted the auto import and manually entered all numbers from the 1099B and even manually entered one sale that has proceeds at $143.69 and the cost basis at 100.22 but I'm still getting the message "You have negative cost or other basis on Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets." And it's saying I am ineligible for e-filing. How do I reset this so that it's not showing a negative and will let me e-file? I have deleted the whole 1099B section multiple times and gone out of the screen hoping that would reset things behind the sceens. I also tried checking the box that the cost basis is incorrect and manually entering the correction but none of that seems to work.

@ sggapuzan "How to start a new tax return" can be interpreted a couple of different ways. You should clarify what you meant. Did you mean you want to start a new tax return for a different person? Or are you asking how to clear your own return and start it over with a fresh return? You mentioned Tax Tools in your question. Why did you mention that? Are you wanting to erase your return and start over from scratch?

The Health Savings Account (HSA) section of TurboTax includes information about distributions from your HSA as well as contributions to the HSA.
Use the following steps to go to that section of your return:
Go to the Deductions & Credits section
Scroll down to the HSA, MSA section
Click Start or Update
Be sure to check the box that you have an HSA account
Go through the screens asking about receiving Form 1099-SA reporting distributions
Next, you will be asked about contributions that were made to your HSA, either by you or through payroll deductions. (This box is just below the amount that was reported on your W-2 in box 12 with code W)

Turbo Tax says I cannot efile because some forms cannot be filed electronically. North Carolina is state, butthere is some form (I think Special Apportionments) that keeps coming up. I have no idea where it came from, have never seen it before. I have been using TT for at least 20 years, and have never had a problem before. Apparently, I am not the only one having issues with NC tax

If you are using TurboTax Online, you cannot prepare and file a tax return for another person using an existing TurboTax account. You'll need to create a new account, distinct from the account you used to file the first return.
If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can start a new return by clicking on Start a new return on the Welcome page of TurboTax.
Please read this TurboTax Help topic on how to start a new tax return for another person.
