I created two tax returns under my same name by mistake. How can I remove one before I can file the other?

Then you should have used 2 accounts, right? Just ignore the one you don't want. You can't delete an Account. You can just leave and abandon it. If you haven't registered or paid or filed you can try to clear it

Or are you using the Desktop program? You can only file 1 return. A second one will reject.

Here's how to delete a tax return in the desktop TurboTax software.

On the first screen when you start TurboTax, that lists the returns and says "Continue Your 2024 Tax Return," click on the return you want to delete. It will then be outlined with a blue border.

Press the Delete key on your keyboard.

Select the option you want, and click OK.
