You can delete it.

 

Open your return in TurboTax. 

  • In the left side bar, select Tax ToolsTools.
  • In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
  • Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet and follow the onscreen instructions

It won’t allow me to remove the form because I registered it already. Does that mean I have to file and send tax return to Florida even though I dont owe anything?

You do not want to file a FL return. Once registered, you can't delete the state. When you go through to the end of the program, you will mark it as a paper file and just not mail it.

 

In addition, you do not want to pay for a return you did not use. You will need to call customer service for help with that. Please use the following link for a customer support number.

I used to live in FL for 19 years. They don't have income taxes in FL. Why is it even an option to add a FL income tax form? That makes no sense.

We have B&B owners and others of that type that need to file the FL return.

The steps must be outdated because there was no selection for delete state.
