Question

How to fix the error?

My wife has already filed her 2020 tax return. I didn't know about it and started filling out the Declaration to file for two together. How do I erase all data and return to the very beginning to file a Declaration only for myself.

Your post said you are working on your 2020 tax return. I assume that is not a typo so you are using 2020 TurboTax CD/Download.

The easiest solution is to start a new return.

Select File in the top left
Then New Tax Return

The other option would be to go into your return and delete all your wife’s income. Then go into Personal Info and edit Your Filing Status to Married filing separately.
