It's located in the black panel on the left hand side of your screen.

  1. Make sure you are logged into TurboTax and on an input screen like Wages or Deductions
  2. You should see a black panel on the left hand side of the screen.
  3. Below the section titled 2020 Taxes, you will see the words Upgrade, and Tax Tools below that.  See the example below.

Do you have a Mac?

i do, I entered several forms incorrectly and needed to delete them. I couldn’t  find the tax tools. But I found a way to delete them. 

Open your taxes in Turbo Tax. 
click on forms at the upper left side of your turbo tax screen. 
Scroll down to the forms you need to delete. 
Click on the form you want to delete.
Once they highlight blue, simply click your delete key on the keyboard and click yes. 
That should do the trick. 
Also, to get out of FORMS click the same upper left tab EasyStep to go back to your tax return. 

If this works, please give it the thumbs up.

Click on forms on the upper left side once you are in your Turbo Tax return. 
Scroll down to the form you want to delete. 
Once is highlighted blue, click your delete key on your keyboard. 
click “remove” to the question. 
To go back to your tax return, simply click the same upper left tab “Easy Step “

I hope this works for you. If it does, give it the thumb up.
