How do I completely delete my data from TurboTax and Intuit?

To completely delete your data from TurboTax and Intuit, you must submit a deletion request through the Intuit Account Manager. This will permanently delete your entire Intuit account, which includes data from any associated products like TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Mint. 
Warning: Deleting your Intuit account is an irreversible process. Before proceeding, be sure to download and save copies of any tax returns or other important documents you might need. 
How to request data deletion
  1. Go to the Intuit Account Manager website: accounts.intuit.com.
  2. Sign in with your Intuit/TurboTax user ID and password.
  3. On the left-hand menu, click on Data & privacy.
  4. In the main window, scroll down to the "Intuit data" section and click the Delete option.
  5. Click Make a delete request and follow the on-screen instructions.
  6. You will be able to select specific products, like TurboTax, from which you want your data deleted.
  7. Read and confirm that you understand the request will permanently delete all associated data.
  8. Enter your password to verify your identity and submit the request. 
What to expect after submitting a request
  • Deletion timeframe: The process can take up to 90 days to complete. During this period, you should not create a new Intuit account using the same email address, or the new data may also be deleted.
  • Irreversible process: After your data is deleted, it cannot be recovered.
  • Regulatory retention: Even after you request a deletion, Intuit may retain certain personal information for a period of time to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, as described in its privacy statement.
