Deductions & credits
There is a small bug in Turbo Tax if you don't go thru the "Guide Me" option first.
Here is the scenario:
You are an experienced TurboTax user and open a previous year tax form. You are then given two options initially, either "Guide Me" or "I'll explore on my own". You decide that since you know what you are doing, you go and start immediately down the "I'll explore on my own" and begin updating the old fields with new info. This turns out not to be a good idea.
You should always go down the "Guide Me" path so that TurboTax can make sure that all essential fields are visited & set up. After going down the "Guide Me" option at least once, you then can use the "I'll explore on my own" to make changes & corrections.
I ended going back to the "Guide Me" path and TurboTax fixed itself without me having to figure out what to do.
