    TurboTax accounts cannot be deleted.

    However, you can delete all the data in your account.  See this TurboTax support FAQ for instructions - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/accounting-bookkeeping/request-delete-download-intuit-data/L9pTFjwSB_US_en_US?uid=m4zshgt7

      Accounts cannot be deleted, but you can just abandon the account.   No one else has access to it unless you give them the account and user ID.    Keep a record of those for yourself in case you need to look at an old return--they are saved for seven years.
