Delete a transaction in a return

Follow these steps to delete incorrect or duplicate transactions after they have been assigned to a return.

  • The return must be in the Adjust stage. If the return is in a different workflow stage, roll it forward or back to the Adjust stage to edit it.

  • Deleting a transaction reverts all changes made to the Worksheet. If you have edited the Worksheet, make a note of the changes you made so that you can re-edit the Worksheet if necessary.

CAUTION:

After the return has been filed and marked as Complete, you can't edit the transactions. If you notice a mistake in a return after you have filed it, amend the return and file it again.

  1. On the Returns page, click the return you want to edit.
  2. Click the Return Data tab.
  3. Click the transaction you want to delete.
  4. Click the More Actions icon, then click Delete.
    A transaction detail page with the More Actions icon and the Delete option in the dropdown menu highlighted.
  5. Enter your reason for deleting the transaction, then click Delete.
    Note:

    You can delete multiple transactions at once by selecting the box for each transaction on the Return Data tab and clicking the Delete icon.

The transaction will be deleted and the return amounts will be recalculated. To see which transactions have been deleted from a return, run the Deleted Transaction Report.
