Question

How do I cancel the sales tax portion of my return. I might have to restart the whole return, how do I do that as well

When they asked if I wanted to add sales tax information, I clicked yes instead of no. Now it won’t let me remove the sales tax from my return

    4. On the  Your tax breaks page, you should see Sales Tax listed.  Select Edit to the right
