All the help information is outdated by years. Turbo Tax Home and Business is not letting me enter the sale of my business in 2023 and then "walk me through entering the information" like it says it's supposed to do. I need to report the goodwill and consulting portions of the sale price, but nowhere does it say where to enter that.

It depends how you have been reporting this business. If you have not reported this business in TurboTax in prior years, report this as the sale of business property under the Investment topic. The total sales price and your total basis will determine the taxable gain or loss. You will need to allocate a portion of the sale and basis to goodwill and report that as a separate sale.
If you have been reporting this business on Schedule C, the sale is reported under the Business topic. If you have depreciated business assets (including goodwill), you will need to allocate the total sales proceeds among these assets. This is typically based on their adjusted tax basis, per the Depreciation Report. These sales are reported under Schedule C Assets for Depreciation from the Business summary screen.
To report that you sold your business, choose the Business tab in the TurboTax Home & Business header. Continue and click "I'll choose what I work on." Click Update beside Business Income & Expenses.
Note: If you're unsure whether or not you sold for a profit, answer "Yes." Enter the information, and TurboTax let you know.
