If I entered an incorrect amount under Wages & Income, Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, how do I delete that amount? The Add/Edit tab is useless.

I'm using Stardard Deduction; I'm using Free version of TT.

You don't specify exactly what type of income you need to delete, but the process is straightforward.  I just went through this procedure successfully in the free Online version.  To remove this income in TurboTax Online:

1. Select Tax Home in the left pane
2. On the Hi, let's keep working on your taxes! screen, select the dropdown to the right of Wages & Income
3. Select Start, Pick up where you left off or Review/Edit, as appropriate
4. Select Add/Edit to the right of Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
5. On the  Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income page, select Revisit to the right of whichever type of income you previously reported
6. Remove all inappropriate information on the ensuing pages

If you continue to have issues, post back with the type of income you've entered and what other entries you've made.

If the TurboTax Online navigation described above doesn't look like what you're experiencing, see the TurboTax Help article Why does the TurboTax navigation menu look different for me?.

JohnW152    The entry I 'thought' I needed to make for 2024 pertains to NJ Property Tax Reimbursements (NJ Senior Freeze program). 

Looking at my 2023 TT Federal Tax Return (Standard Deduction chosen), the amount of Property Tax Reimbursement had been entered on Schedule 1 Additional Income, Line 8z (Other income), with the words NEW JERSEY REAL ESTATE.  Note: for the previous year TT Federal Return (2022), I itemized deductions.  

Okay, so I'm now preparing my TT Federal Return (2024) and TT is showing me last year's entries as a guidepath for entering THIS year's information. Something I appreciate.... except that this year I'm doing a Standard Deduction again and I've been told I therefore  do not have to enter Property Tax Reimbursements (recoveries) at all.  But I was following the guidepath from TT (where they show me last year's entry) and had already entered an amount for this year under Wages & Income, Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.  I've never received ANY form with those numbers, but somehow that's where this year's property tax reimbursement amount is entered.  I need to delete that entry.  I followed your suggestion but the Revisit tab does not take me to a place where I can do that.  I'm sorry if I'm being unclear.  I'm 81 yrs old and doing my best.

Scroll down to the bottom of the wages and income section to the other reportable income.  The buttons there should all sat 'start' except for the one that you used to enter the senior freeze income.  That button should say 'update'.  Click the one that says update and follow the path until you come to where you entered the income the first time.  Then delete the number.

I’m having this same issue. It’s listing $25k against misc income, 1099-A and 1099-C which it’s clearly copying from last year. I’ve gone through every drop down and there’s no way to delete it.

HERE is a link to view and delete forms online. 

Be careful not to delete anything you need. 

Miscellaneous income will be reported on Schedule !, but look for the source document, such as a 1099 and delete that.

I will try today to use your link showing how to carefully delete forms in TT.

[Rivergull]

Yup.  I believe it's being carried over from last year.  But I need to delete that amount for this year's filing.  I'm going to use the link Becks provided for deleting Forms.  I'll let you know what happens.  I'm using the Free version of TT.
