Hello, I accidentally selected that I contributed to a Traditional IRA. I actually ONLY contributed to a Roth IRA. TurboTax will not delete my accidental response.

TurboTax is now asking me to explain my re-characterization of my Traditional IRA contributions into a Roth IRA. I did not contribute to a traditional IRA nor re-characterize as a Roth IRA. I only contributed directly into a Roth IRA through Northwestern Mutual. There is no option for be to delete my accidental response to the IRA contribution answers and TurboTax says my answer "has been recorded." I'm not sure what to do here.

You can go back in and enter $0 for the amount of your traditional IRA contribution. Then, go back into the IRA contribution section and remove the check mark on the traditional IRA entry you made earlier. On the next screen you can indicate that you want to delete the IRA contribution.
