Use the "Delete a Form" tool to remove the Form W-2s (and any associated worksheets) from your tax file.

See: How do I delete forms in TurboTax Online?

 After deleting these forms, log out of the program. When you log back in, use the Delete a Form tool (List of Forms in My Return) to confirm they have been removed from your return.

Why does this happen? Once you enter (or import or transfer) certain information, the program creates or updates forms and worksheets that use that information. In many cases, you cannot "change" that information in the interview process - in a manner of speaking, it has been "written in ink" on the forms. You have to delete the form and any associated worksheets in order to correct.
