I'm no longer self-employed how do I remove it from my tax Forms

Don't delete your business if it closed sometime in 2016. Instead, report the business and make sure you select I sold (or disposed of) my business in 2016 on the Tell us about your business screen.

Otherwise, follow these instructions to delete a business that transferred over from your 2015 return but is no longer owned by you as of January 1, 2016.

Instructions
  1. With your return open, search for this exact phrase: business (schedule c) (include the parentheses) and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
  2. Answer Yes when asked if you had (or want to work on) business income and expenses for 2016.That's right – you'll need to answer Yes, even though it doesn't make sense.
  3. When you get to the Business info or Business Summary screen, click Delete next to the defunct business.
  4. Answer Yes to confirm the removal of all business-related forms.

I'm no longer self-employed how do I remove it from my tax Forms

it is not letting me. It says "Once you register your tax return, or pay any TurboTax fees, we can no longer clear and start over." however, I have not send it to the IRS yet. I did pay , when I pay I realized that my taxes are being send as self-employee even though I put mt W2.
I have no sigh my taxes yet or place my bank information in order to get the refund.
I know I can still retract myself from sending it to the IRS
