I installed 2021 Turbotax Deluxe CD and I opened a "new" return. However, I have not yet entered any information at all in this return. (I have 2 user accounts on my Mac and I intended to start a new return on my other user account, but I accidentally opened a new return on the user account that I don't want to use).

QUESTION: How do I delete the entire return from the program ? Thanks and blessings.

open the program

do not open a return but select the file tab

on the file tab select open a return

there should be a window that opens with the tax return listed

highlight with mouse

right click

select delete

or you can navigate to the folder and delete the return that way without eve opening the program

Here is some additional information to what Mike9241 posted above:

There are a few options to clear and start over on CD/Download Version.

You can delete a tax return from within the TurboTax Windows Desktop Program on the very first screen after starting the program or go to File-Open. Click on the large square icon representing the file you wish to delete (avoid clicking the blue "Continue" button). Then just hit your delete key and answer the prompt.
You can start the program and on the first page click the blue Find a Tax File link at the bottom of the box. Then in the list that pops up you can right click on the file and choose delete.
Or you can delete it from Windows. The tax files end in .tax2020 and should be in your Documents folder and then in a Turbo Tax subfolder.
Another option is to just start a new return, go to FILE - NEW and ignore the wrong one.
