The spinning wheel often starts because TurboTax is proactively trying to open its "Import" portal. You can bypass this by outsmarting the portal:
- Go to the Federal > Wages & Income screen.
- Instead of clicking "Add" on the summary, scroll down to the Investments and Savings section.
- Click Start/Update next to "Interest on 1099-INT."
- The Key Step: When the screen asks "Let's import your tax info," do not click the bank icons. Look for the small button at the bottom that says "Enter a different way" or "Skip Import."
- Select "Interest" as your type and click Continue. This usually forces the manual entry screen to load, bypassing whatever script is causing the spinning wheel
- Now enter the remaining 1099 INT manually.
