As long as you haven't submitted payment, deducted the TurboTax fee from your refund, or registered, you can erase your return and start from scratch in TurboTax Online.

Doing so will take you back to the free version. 

 

Please follow the instructions here to clear and start over.

For 2019?

Click on Cancel Amend on the left side of the online program screen.  Select Yes, I want to cancel my amended return and Continue.

Then what you are changing on the amended tax return requires a higher edition of the TurboTax online editions than what was supported on the edition you used to file the original tax return.
