To enter a W-2, follow the steps below.

  • Open (continue) your return in TurboTax,
  • Inside TurboTax, search for W-2 and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
  •  W-2 screen will open. On this screen you can add, edit or delete as necessary.

For this job did you receive a Form 1099-MISC with an amount in box 7?

Is your first job self-employed or a W-2 employee?

Or are you saying you chose the wrong product and don't need the Self-Employed Edition at all that you are shown to be in currently?  That you have no self-employment income?

If you don't need to report any self-employed income at all, you can downgrade by choosing to "Clear and  Start Over."

I don't use Online TurboTax, and they have recently changed some of the screens in the Self-Employed Edition, so I can't walk you through the directions for deleting a self-employed business in the Online version.  You'll have to see if anyone else responds in this thread.   Since this thread already has an answer, however, it has been moved to a different queue, and is less likely to be seen by the community.   

Your best bet may be to start a new thread by asking the question something like this:  "I started entering a second business by mistake.  How do I delete the business I don't need?"  You can start the new thread at this link:
