I am trying to amend my 2018 taxes and not sure how, but i pretty much messed up things. Is there a way to reset turbotax to the same point as if I clicked on "amend" the very first time?
if i were to delete all the forms in tools would i lose everything including the original tax return or just the amended section?
thank you

To cancel or undo an amended return in the TurboTax CD/Download software, follow this process to correctly "unamend" your federal return:
State Amendments
The best way to "unamend" your state return is to go through your state return from the beginning and keep your eyes peeled for amend-related screens or questions.
The amend question usually appears right at the beginning or towards the end of the state interview (never in the middle).
Correct any entries that have to do with an amended return, for example:
If you still can't get rid of your state amendment form, try clearing your state return and starting over.

Thanks but i am having a problem even with the first step. When i go to the 2018 tax return all the options i see are in this picture. I cannot really open the the return. Did you mean i should click on the first link Amend....?
thanks again
You are showing a picture of your online account. The only way to amend is to download the program on to your computer. The steps outlined are for after you open the downloaded program on your computer.
Are you sure you amended your return? Did you download the program?
You definitely do not want to delete the original forms. You can click on add a state just to go in and look around at your return.
If you need to download the software to amend, click on Amend.
What happens when you click on Amend for 2018? I think there is a new thing where you can amend a 2018 return online. What steps did it give you? Here is the amend article but it just says to follow the steps.
ok got it. I thought i could do this on line. I will see if i can get the program on my laptop.
So, here is the story, I got a CP2000 from the IRS because i did not include a 1099MISC for 2018 return. I dont need to amend the Fed return because i am accepting the terms offered by the IRS on the CP2000 BUT i still need to apply this modification to the state returns (two states) and hence my interest is mostly on the state return. However although i logging in the correct info one state (the MD one) is not changing which is not right so i was trying to reset the numbers to what they were before i started amending.
