How do I delete all information on TurboTax?

Answered by Robert Flynn

To delete all information on TurboTax, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your TurboTax account using a desktop or mobile browser. This method is recommended over using the TurboTax app.

2. Once logged in, click the orange “Take me to my return” button. This will open your tax return.

3. Make sure your screen is maximized for the best viewing experience. This will ensure you can easily access all the necessary options.

4. At the top of your screen, towards the right, you will see a tab labeled “My Account.” Click on it to open the account settings.

5. In the account settings menu, look for an option called “Clear & Start Over.” This is the option you need to select in order to delete all your information and start fresh.

6. Click on “Clear & Start Over” and follow any prompts or confirmations that may appear. TurboTax will guide you through the process, ensuring that you understand the implications of clearing your information.

7. Once you have confirmed your decision to clear and start over, TurboTax will delete all your information, including any data you have entered during the current tax season. Be aware that this action cannot be undone, so double-check your decision before proceeding.

8. After the clearing process is complete, you will have a blank slate to start a new tax return. You can begin entering your information again from scratch.

Remember, it is important to exercise caution when deleting your information. Make sure you have backed up any necessary documents or records before clearing your tax return. Additionally, if you have already filed your return, clearing your information will not affect the return you have already submitted to the IRS.

Deleting all information on TurboTax is a straightforward process. By following these steps, you can start anew and ensure that your tax return is accurate and up to date.
