I think I figured it out, at least how to get it to work properly in the interview...at least it did for me.
(Discovered by accident, BUT the software fix to prevent the problem in the first place, is still needed though).
__________________________
If you used that Property Tax entry field last year, and if you used a Supporting Details (SD ) sheet for putting it in last year, then the SD sheet transferred (empty) into this year's forms...AND...the SD sheet is somehow blocking the "interview" for the Property Taxes entry, to transition to the proper entry page.
_______________
My fix:
1) Switch to Forms Mode.
2) Open the Tax and Interest Deduction Worksheet
3) There should be a zero on line 2a of that worksheet....double-click on it.
4) Delete the worksheet by hitting the big red X
5) Either enter you Property taxes on that line....or...return to the interview and enter your property taxes using the interview ..as you normally would..should be OK now.
_____________________
I found that if I re-introduced a new SD sheet for that line...the interview still proceeded as it normally should. So deleting the transferred-in SD sheet from 2023 was the main fix. and starting a new SD sheet doesn't re-introduce the problem.
