I entered a SEP contribution into my 2018 return but now have decided I will not make a SEP contribution. How do I edit that amount to $0 ?

You can go back and remove the contribution from your tax return since you have not filed yet.  Return to that section in TurboTax and update your answers.  There are 2 ways to get back to your entry.

  • Type     sep accounts      (exactly like that), hit enter, and use the Jump to link.  You must be inside of your return for the link to work.  Answer YES, and proceed through the screens until you get to ''Keogh, SEP and SIMPLE Contributions''.  Don't enter 0s, just delete the amounts.  OR
