How can I restart my tax return?

Provided you haven't filed the return, you can Clear and Start Over to remove what you've entered.

 

If you did file and your return was accepted, you will have to amend the return (see at bottom of the page)

 

To clear a return you've not filed.

 

  Sign into TurboTax.

  1. You may have to bring up the additional options on the left sidebar
    1. On the center panel select Personal Info [Continue]
    2. This will bring up additional options on the left sidebar.
  2. On the left sidebar at the bottom
  3. Select the Switch Products and press the drop down arrow.
  4. Click Clear and start over.

You can view the TurboTax Video How do I clear and start over?

 

To Amend your tax return

 

Login to TurboTax

  1. Select Tax Home from the left sidebar.
  2. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and 
  3. Select the year you want to amend.
  4. Click on the Amend (change) return dropdown, 
  5. Then Amend using TurboTax Online

 Continue the interview, make the changes you need, and answer the rest of the questions to finish changing your return.

 An amended return can make a change to a tax filing that has already been accepted.  You should follow these guidelines. 

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. 
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. 
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.  
  • The refund calculator will start ‌at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due 
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected. 
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
