How do I REMOVE the spouse?

"Divorced" is not a filing status. You should be using "Single" as your filing status unless you have qualified dependents that would let you file as Head of Household. If you are recently divorced and are trying to use an old account that was used for past joint returns, you need to start a new account with a new user ID for yourself because it is too difficult to remove the "spouse" stuff from the old account.

If you used Turbo Tax last year you should start a brand new account for yourself and not transfer from last year. You can not remove a spouse, especially if they are the first one listed on your return. Online is only good for 1 return. But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts. Start another Online return here. Sign up and start a new account.
