You can remove the rental property that was entered by mistake in the delete a form section of turbo tax:

    Login to your TurboTax account online
    Click the orange Take me to my return button
    In the upper right corner, click My Account > Tools.
    In the pop-up window, select Delete a form.
    Click Delete next to the Schedule E form that you would like to delete and follow the onscreen instructions.

Could you please update this "tutorial"? I have same problem but I can't follow same instructions, probably the system was changed, since the answer is from years ago.

If possible, you should go to the section in the step-by-step portion of your return to initiate deleting items.  That way TurboTax can handle taking away any worksheets and associated forms tied to the item being deleted.  There is almost always an option to click the trash can icon or Delete button versus deleting a form directly.

 

So, if you need to delete a rental property added by mistake, go to the Rental Income and Expenses section of your return to see a list of all rental properties entered so that you can choose the one that is incomplete and needs to be deleted.

 

That being said, see the following TurboTax help articles for specific instructions:

Nothing you have listed above has worked. Would suggest an update to the above tutorial as the system has gone through a change, deleting did not remove the form and now to return I have had to "upgrade" to be able to file.

Delete the Schedule E(s) to remove the property and all associated forms.   @jsimmer
