Turbo tax pulled up my previous return with my husband. Am now divorced. Can I remove him and stay in that form?

Since you are no longer legally married you will need to create a new account with a new User ID. The old account cannot be used.

No. 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 or switch the order of names.

TurboTax will not allow you to remove the primary taxpayer on the return. And you should not try to change the order of names. If you were listed as the spouse and want to be the primary taxpayer now or delete the primary person, you will need to start a new return by logging out and starting over with a new account and new user name and password. You will not be able to transfer from the prior year.

Online is only good for 1 return per account. But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts. Start another Online return here and sign up for a new account
