This is a LONG RUNNING problem with the Desktop software.
IF...if you prior year tax file had any "Supporting Details" on any of the SS worksheet lines, then the Easy Step this year, kicks you back to the menu. ....for this year's attempted entry of SS...(and also of some other forms, like Property Taxes., if you used any Supporting Details on those other forms too)
For your SS entry, the easiest procedure would have been to just delete the entire SS worksheet in Forms Mode...then returned to the interview, and the Easy Step into the SS entries should be restored....but too late for you now, since you've apparently fixed it directly on the worksheet in Forms Node.
___________________
IF you did get it to work in Forms Mode already, by entering your data directly on the SS worksheet, then you probably did find at least one of your entries had a Supporting Details (SD) worksheet attached to it..
________________
If you don't need that SD worksheet anymore...maybe it would be a good idea to get of it...in case TTX doesn't fix it for next year too.
They do seem to have ignored it entirely this year, if it's still causing problems...
