NJ-BUS-1

How can I delete my SSN from NJ-BUS-1 Part 1? All of my information is needed in part 2 however part 1 contains just my SSN and NJ is rejecting it.

 It's OK to delete forms that you know don't apply to your return, or are duplicated or blank.  Here are the general procedures for deleting unwanted forms, schedules, and worksheets in TurboTax:

 

TurboTax Online

  1. Open your return in TurboTax. (To do this, sign in to TurboTax, and select the Take me to my return button.)
  2. In the left sidebar, select Tax ToolsTools.
  3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose to Delete a form.
  4. Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet and follow the onscreen instructions.

 

Windows Instructions 

  1. Switch to Forms mode.
  2. In the left pane, select the form you want to remove. (if you don't see it, click Open Form at the top).
  3. After the form is generated in the right pane, click the Delete Form button at the bottom of the window.
  4. Follow any on-screen instructions to remove the form or forms.

 

Mac Instructions

  1. Switch to Forms mode.
  2. In the left pane, select the form you want to remove (if you don't see it, click Open Form at the top).
  3. From the Forms menu, select Remove [form name].
  4. Follow any on-screen instructions to remove the form or forms.

 Tips and tricks:

  • Need to remove a business that transferred over from last year? Find out how to properly remove it.
  • To delete a form that came in the mail (for example, W-2, 1098, or 1099) it's best to do it from that form's summary screen. Search for the form number (for example, W-2) and select the Jump to link in the search results to get to the summary screen.
  • You can't delete Form 1040. That would be like yanking the foundation out from under a building. If you want to get rid of the information you've entered, you can clear your return.

Thank you for the reply. I need the form but not the information in part 1 and I'm unsure how to delete it in turbotax.

Delete the Business Income Worksheet. The SSN in part 1 comes from the business income worksheet while part 2 comes from partnership income.

Thank you for all the help. For some reason there was an empty Schedule C in the Federal Return that was creating the entry in the NJ BUS 1 Part 1.

Thank you, My next question is I really need all the entries in NJ BUS-1 but of the supposed 3 entries only the first entry is coming up.  The last 2 entries are blank, but the total amount is correct.  When I try entering the missing amount, the totals are doubled up.  Why is it that the amount and info are not rolling in.  Do I really need to submit this NJ Bus-1 summary worksheet or I can just delete the worksheet.  Can I submit without this Worksheet summary?
