Deductions & credits

@kwiat01 

 

Putting them directly on the Sched A in Forms Mode is not a good idea...it can have other unintended consequences.  It actually is supposed to go on line 2a of the Tax & Int Wks   (Tax and Interest Deductions Worksheet) if in Forms Mode.    But they are better entered properly in the Interview.

 

IF you are in the interview for Property Taxes, and you see a "$0" that won't let you enter anything in the field....then there is a "Supporting Details" sheet attached to that field.  Double-click on the field, and the S.D. worksheet will pop up...  There are a number of areas where this can occur...especially if you used one last year for that field/entry spot.

 

This only occurs in the Desktop software, and only for fields with a "$0" that don't allow you to change them, and not a simple"$"

 

Try to remember that for future years.

Once the S.D. sheet pops up, you can either use it, or delete it entirely (big red X at the top of the sheet).

If the double-click doesn't work, post back here, there are other ways to get it to show up.
