How do I delete a tax form in TurboTax Desktop?

The best way, and often the only way, to delete income forms (including forms W-2, 1098, 1099, and K-1) is to do it from the summary screen for that particular form.

So, try that first — here's how:

1. Open or continue your return.
2. Go to the Search bar and search for the form by typing the form name (for example, W-2 or 1099-Misc).
3. Select the Jump to link with the form name.
4. Then, see if that takes you to a summary screen.
   • If searching for a W-2, for example, typing W-2 in the search bar and selecting the Jump to link in the search results takes you to the Your W-2 info so far screen.
   • You can remove the W-2 on this screen by selecting the trash icon.

How do I delete other tax forms or schedules?

While it's OK to delete blank, duplicate, or irrelevant forms, we don't recommend deleting valid forms or schedules, for example nonfinal forms or forms that won't let you e-file. Understand that deleting a form or schedule may create new, unforeseen problems before proceeding.

Also, if you need to remove a business that transferred over from your prior-year return, don't just delete Schedule C. Instead, remove the business.
