How do I remove a state I no longer have income from?

You can delete your state return by following these instructions.

Note: If you've already paid your TurboTax state fees or registered your free version with your state return attached, you can't delete your state return.

1. Sign in and open a section of your return
2. From the menu, select State and then select Continue on the Let's get your state taxes done right screen
3. On the Status of your state returns screen, select Delete next to your state, then answer Yes

If you’ve already paid your state fees, you can’t delete your return, but you can start over by selecting Start Over next to your state return on the Status of your state returns screen.

 

Here's how to clear (delete) a state return in the TurboTax for Windows CD/Download software:

1. With your return open in TurboTax, switch to Forms Mode by selecting the Forms icon at the top-right corner of the screen
2. From the File menu, choose Remove State Return. (This won't delete your state program, just the state tax return)
3. Select the return you want to delete and select Remove. Choose Yes to confirm

If you want to start a new state return, select the Step-by-Step icon, and then select the State Taxes tab.

 

 

You did just tell the Forum Q&A system you are using the "Online" TurboTax software?

 

Hope you aren't actually using desktop software.

How do you uninstall the state, so that it does not keep appearing?
