I did not sell stocks this year but can't delete that the stocks line item under Wages

I'm told to review the Stocks sold item, which forces me to upgrade. I don't want to upgrade bc I did not sell stocks. I cannot delete the line item. I did sell stocks in 2020, so is this a software bug?

You can use the Delete a Form routine in TurboTax to see if you see an entry for the stock sale. It would likely be associated with form 8949 or schedule D. If you didn't report any investment sales or form 1099-DIV that reports capital gains you can try deleting those forms (try the form 8949 first.) If that doesn't work, you will see an option to clear your return and start it over by using the Tax Tools menu option on your left menu bar and then Tools and then Clear & Start Over. 

A simple way to delete forms in TurboTax online is to use the Tax Tools menu option, which is on your left menu bar when you are working in your program. Then, choose Tools and then Delete a form.

If you are working in the download TurboTax program, use the Forms Mode on your menu bar to bring up the form you want to delete, then choose the Delete Form option at the bottom of the form.
