Why can't I remove Speedway from Income? On review, just before filing, it wants to go over a W2 for a job that ended in 2018, for my 2020 return... Why?

I eliminated all incomes when I started this process, TODAY. Its late, but still in time, but now that I'm at the end, it wants to drag up that old job I didn't have last year, except for doing taxes last year, of the year before. Now, it seems like I have to actually pay to talk to someone about a glitch in this system? No. I'm not spending money, to get money that should already be mine. I just need to claim it.

If you have a W-2 from an employer that you no longer work for keeps coming up.  It's probably because it has carried over from 2019.

 

There are two ways to clear entries from your return.

 

  1. The first thing to try is to go into the section that has the form  (Job W-2)
  2. select the entry that you want to clear. 
  3. On the right hand side there is a trash can. 
  4. Select the trash can and confirm you want to delete that form.

 To Delete a form:

  1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
    1. My Info
    2. Federal
    3. State
    4. Review
    5. File
  2. Select Tax Tools
  3. On the drop down select Tools
  4. On the Pop-Up menu select Delete a Form
  5. This will give you all of the forms in your return
  6. Scroll down to the form you want to delete
  7. Select the Form
  8. Click on Delete.
  9. Always use extreme caution when deleting from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.
