How do I delete my state return in TurboTax Online?

You can delete your state return in TurboTax Online as long as you haven't paid or registered yet.

Sign in and open your return if you don't already have it open.
From the left menu, select State (if you don't see this menu, select the menu icon in the upper-left) and then select Continue on the Let's get your state taxes done right screen.
On the Status of your state returns screen select Delete to the right of your state, then answer Yes.

If you don't see the option to delete your state (you'll probably see Edit instead), you've already paid your TurboTax fees (including the state fee) or registered your free version while the state was on your return. If you've done either of these things, you can't delete your state return.

How do I delete a state return that was accidentally added? Turbo Tax won't let me remove it the usual way(s) because it says I have selected e-filing. HELP! ASAP!

If the efile is hindering deleting the state tax return, are you able to change your efile option to mail in a paper return?

Then down the left side of the screen, click on Your state returns.

Click Delete next to the state tax return that is causing trouble.

Change back to the efile option?

Yay! Thank you! I was unsure if returning to efile would bring KY back, but it did not.
I still could not delete the entire form; only its data/contents...

You should be fine. You don't have to file this state form.

Please follow the steps below to remove a state return:

Click on Tax Home from Left Side Menu.
Click on State Taxes from the main screen and click on Review/Edit and then press Continue on the next screen.
You should now see the list of your state returns. You should see the Oklahoma return as well. There should be a Trash Can symbol next to it. Click on it and delete the state return.
