You can delete the business on the Business Summary screen.  TurboTax should delete the Schedule C as well as any attached schedules.


To do this: 

  1. Click Federal Taxes > Wages & Income
  2. In the Business Items section, click the Start/Update box next to Business income and expenses (Sch C)
  3. On the Business Summary screen click Delete next to the business name.
