So I paid zero for startup because I had none but it still shows up with 5k deduction. It is annoying and it wont delete no matter what i do

Try deleting the worksheet out of the Schedule C forms. You can delete any or all of the forms in your tax return by navigating in TurboTax Online to Tax Home > Tax Tools > Tools > Delete a form

Under the section 2025 Federal Form 1040: Individual, use the right arrow to click through the pages until you find the worksheet(s) for Schedule C that include startup costs. Delete that, and any other Schedule C forms related to a business, if that business did not actually start operations during the year.
