@GLars that's a re-written section of code ( a few years ago) that always takes a long time to load the subroutine related to it.
The one thing I noted above.....is to make sure you have all your Windows OS updates installed fully....and re-boot your computer no matter whether or not you do have an OS update to install .
Then , after reboot, don't run any other programs...just the TTX one, and try again.

No, you shouldn't have to go thru all that if the software were rewritten well....but that's what is happening for the Desktop/download software users.

Last Resort if the above doesn't work?
1) Switch to "Forms Mode"
2) in the top-left window, click on "Open Form"
3) in the search box type in "Social"
4) Click on the "Social Security Benefits Worksheet" and then the "Open Form" button.
Then you can enter your SSA-1099 data in the A-thru-E section, directly on the form....but Yeah, some of it may be confusing.
