How do I remove a SEP IRA contribution from my filing?

I tried to add a SEP IRA contribution (that I have not yet made) to my filing, and it lowered my refund due to cancelling out my Traditional IRA deduction. I want to remove this from my taxes as I have yet to open the SEP IRA and make any contribution to it. I thought is may be a way to maximize my refund, as I had a small amount of 1099-MISC income. My Traditional IRA was the only retirement plan contribution of any kind for me in 2016.

Go to 'My Account' > 'Tools' > 'Delete a Form' and delete the SEP Form from the list. This will readjust the refund to reflect the IRA contribution deduction.
