Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I can't seem to enter anything in on Schedule 1, line 8

The field seems locked. When I click on it, it takes me to the 1040 form.

... I don't want the 1040 form, I need to put the exception on line 8, Sch 1 according to the IRS.

 

Is there some sort of secret way to edit a worksheet, form, schedule in TT? 


Doing that can improperly affect 8 other taxes or credits that the tax law specifically said NOT to change.   That is why software is needed to apply the credit without  changing anything else.    The IRS instructions are for hand filing a paper return - writing the line 8 on a piece of paper will not affect other calculations but doing it in software will.
