How do I delete a state return without starting all over? The delete option in the help does not exist for me.

It depends on why you are deleting the state return.

If you have decided that you do not need to file the state return, you can just leave it and when you go to file make sure and exclude it. You will exclude (not file) it in the File section of TurboTax. You can exclude it by checking it to 'File Later' and just leave it in the system. 

If you want to start the state return over, but not the whole return over, you can delete the state forms. Anything that is coming in from the Federal will regenerate the form but any answers you gave in the state section should be wiped out. I would start at the bottom and deduct all the state forms. You can follow these instructions:

• In the left-hand black menu, choose Tax Tools then Tools.
•  Click on Delete a Form from the window that pops up.
•  You should now see the Review Form List. Scroll down the list until you get to the state forms.
• Start deleting the state forms from the bottom up. 
• You may get a pop up telling you additional worksheets and forms are being deleted. Approve and click delete.
• When you are finished, you should come back to the Review Form List. Scroll to the bottom and click Continue with My Return.

I'll give it a try.  My screen doesn't work as you've described, but I can get to forms and I can delete them.  I will do so from the bottom up and let you know how it goes.

Thank you for your help.  I have to take a break and feed animals.................

Well, after struggling to try to delete forms (which doesn't work), just going to the File Menu offered an option to Remove State Returns.  Seemed like an obvious fix, but didn't think to go there except out of desperation.  That did work.  

Hopefully, if anyone else should ask, that will help.

Thanks for sticking with me on this!
