In TurboTax Online, you can clear and start over
as long as you haven't paid or registered yet (free users are asked to register their accounts before they file).
Note: You can’t clear and start over using the mobile app. Instead, log in to your TurboTax account from a desktop or mobile browser to clear and start over.
- Sign in to TurboTax Online and open your return by clicking the orange Take me to my return button.
- With your screen maximized, click My Account (at the top of your screen toward the right) and select Clear & Start Over. (If on a tablet or phone, you may find the Clear & Start Over option by clicking the three parallel lines, or “hamburger”, in the top left corner.)
- Answer Yes to Are you sure you want to clear your return?
- After your entries have been cleared out, we'll prompt you to
select a TurboTax product so you can start over from the very beginning.
A reason you might want to clear and start over is if you think
you’re in a higher-priced version of TurboTax and don’t need to be. Have
a look below under Related Information for more details.
If you're signed in under last year's login, once you clear and start
over we'll automatically transfer last year's info over if you select
the PLUS upgrade, Deluxe, Premier, or Self-Employed. Federal Free
Edition (without PLUS) does not include the year-over-year transfer
feature.
