Can't Delete a 1099-B Entry

I made a couple of manual entries from a 1099-B. It turns out I will be better off importing the form this year. But I am unable to delete the sales I have entered. It appears to be a display problem. On the summary screen the display is truncated so there is no trash can icon. I tried closing the file and reopening it - no joy.

Using desktop version in MacIntosh.

Any suggestions?

And the 1099-B uses a different GUI from the other 1099s.

I spoke with a service agent. The answer is that there is a slider bar at the bottom of the truncated display that brings the missing buttons into view. I missed that entirely in the subtlety of the grey on white color scheme. Problem solved.

Here's a user-suggested fix to reduce display size so that all buttons are showing:

The correct way is to change the screen resolution from optimum to the highest possible resolution. I.e. this means changing the built in display from 1152x720 to 1440x900. This shrinks the picture so that it shows all of the intuit screen and you are able to see the cancel or save button to exit.

Currently using 1920x1080 on the display. All other options are lower resolution.

Note this is only a problem on the 1099-B. 1099-Int and 1099-Div are OK.

Ok- I must be especially stupid. I cannot find the slider bar. I'm on a Mac. I've tried everything people have suggested with no luck. Help

Try this instead:

For a MAC desktop, (see screenshot for visual)

Load up your tax return on your computer
Switch to "Forms" mode - the icon in top left corner of your program
You should now see a list of the forms in your return on the left-hand side of the program
Find the 1099-B you wish to delete and click on it
This should bring up the1099-B in your active window
Click on the Forms option on your menu (top of your screen you should see your Apple icon, then TurboTax, then File, Edit, View, Forms, Easystep, Flags, Window, and Help - click Forms)
There should be an option to remove the 1099-B form from the dropdown menu under Forms
