If you attempted to e-file your return and it was rejected, review the rejection error code and the explanation carefully in order to resolve the error.

 

To remove a Schedule C from your tax return, in TurboTax Online, return to Wages & Income and select Self-Employment. Any self-employment income previously entered or line of work profile should appear listed there. To remove any of these entries, click on the trash can icon that appears next to the Edit or Review button for that line item.

 

You might wish to review the other topics in Wages & Income in case you inadvertently entered information in one of the sections where Forms 1099 are entered.

 

If you wish to start over and change to a different TurboTax product, see the discussion in this thread (although it is from 2019, the process is essentially the same).

You are confusing ... you asked to remove a Sch C  and a Sch E ? 

 

  1. With your return open, search for this exact phrase: business (schedule c) (include the parentheses) and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
  2. Answer Yes when asked if you had (or want to work on) business income and expenses for 2021.
    • That's right – you'll need to answer Yes, even though it doesn't make sense.
    • If you're being forced to upgrade to Home & Business, contact us for further assistance.
  3. When you get to the Business info or Business Summary screen, click Delete next to the defunct business.
  4. Answer Yes to confirm the removal of all business-related forms.
