My Federal review indicates no errors but my State (MI) Schedule W copy 2 has an entry in Table 2 that is an error. The box for Filer, column A, is checked and Column C says "other withholding". Turbo Tax wants a tax payer ID number, Column B. Obviously there is no Tax Payer ID number for "other withholding". I have tried to delete copy 2 by going to the forms view and it seems to delete but then when running error check the same error is found. I have also tried the override function to delete all the information but again no luck. This is the only entry on copy 2 so Copy 2 is not needed. How do I get rid of Schedule W copy 2?

    1) Open your tax return.

    2) Go to the left side of the screen and click on Tax Tools, then Tools

    3)  From the pop-up Tools Center  menu, select  Delete a form

    4) Scroll to find the Schedule W and Delete it.

    5) Scroll to the bottom of the list and hit the button to Continue My Return

     

    That should do it.

    What may be complicating this is that I only need to delete copy 2 or maybe its better to refer to it as page 2 of Schedule W. I need to retain page 1 for the data that is on it. The information was populated by import from my bank but as I said the Federal forms are fine. Thanks to all for any help with this.

    Thanks, but I am using the cd version and I don't see the menu you describe.  I have 6 options along the top left header. File, Edit, View, Tools, Online, Help. If I click on Tools I have some options but not what you describe.

    With the CD version, you need to find the form and pull it up so that you can see the "Delete Form" option below the form.

     

    On the upper right corner of your TurboTax screen, you should see a "Forms" icon which you can click on to bring up a list of all the forms in your return (see the column to the left of your screen). You can also find the forms option in the "View" menu tab.

     

    Double click on the form you want to work with and it will appear on your screen. Once you see the form you want to delete, look below the form and you will see an option to delete it.

    Again, thank you but I have tried that several times. The page deletes and that is verified on the left vertical list of forms to choose from. Then I close the form and run the checker again and the same error is found. Perhaps if I deleted the entire Schedule W form, page 1 and page 2 it would work but then I would loose the information that is required on page 1.
