I have a document with column B2 showing a general number as ###-##-###. I would like to remove the ###-## portion of the number. Is there an formula that I can create to remove just the first two sections of the number?

Remove? Not with a formula. But in an adjacent cell you can extract the last 3 characters with:
=RIGHT(A1, 3)

Or use this formula to extract the last set of numbers regardless of the length of that last set:
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("-",A1,FIND("-",A1)+1))
When I say semicolon, u say comma!
..Or replace *- with nothing.
