How do I reset TurboTax to use the standard deductions? I realize I would have been better off to use the standard deductions instead of entering my own. How do I reset?

How do I reset TurboTax to use the standard deductions? I realize I would have been better off to use the standard deductions instead of entering my own. How do I reset?

There are a couple of options. The best would be to delete your itemized deductions, Schedule A. Use the link below based on the TurboTax version you are using. Make sure nothing applies to your state return.

 

  • If you're using TurboTax Online software and need to delete a form, click here.
  • If you're using TurboTax Desktop software and need to delete a form, click here.

The second option would be to go to Deductions and Credits, then delete each entry for medical, home, contributions, and taxes (most used).
