How do I delete paper return, not mailed, so I can start e-return?

What more can I say! I started a paper return, printed it but never mailed. Made an error. Need to correct. How delete Paper and restart e-file?

If you already confirmed your order with TurboTax, the return can not be deleted. However, you can change the filing option to e-file and make any corrections to the return. To change your filing status, follow these steps:

  1. Sign into TurboTax
  2. Select Tax Home
  3. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
  4. Select the year of the return you want to change.
  5. Select Add a State (you will not actually add a state, this will just open the return back up for changes).
  6. Make any corrections you need to make
  7. Follow the prompts to switch to e-filing
