If you have a W-2 that represents a job that you no longer work at. It probably was carried forward from 2019.  You can clear this out by following these steps.

 

There are two ways to clear entries from your return.

 

The first thing to try is to go into the section that has the form  (Less Common Income)

  1. select the entry that you want to clear. 
  2. On the right hand side there is a trash can. 
  3. 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.
