Is there a way to remove the previous year information and re-import the correct 2017 file without having to re-do this year's tax return?

You can correct your 2017 AGI by following these steps:

  • Login to your TurboTax Account 
  • Click "Take Me To My Return"
  • Click "File" from the left side of your screen
  • Go to Step 3 (if needed, revisit Steps 1 and/or 2 to activate Step 3).
  • Proceed, and make sure you've selected the option "I want to E-file"
  • Continue through the screens and you will be given the opportunity to input your 2017 AGI

I don't understand these steps.  I already have my 2018 turbo tax return file open.  What do you mean about logging into the account?

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, the "File" tab is at the top after you open your return.

Yes, and when I went to file, I didn't see where I was supposed to go to Step 3 or "if needed, revisit Steps 1 and/or 2 to activate Step 3".
