Deductions & credits

I am facing the same circumstance.    For example, I paid for an airfare in October of 2024 but flew in January of 2025.  TurboTax doesn’t ask me the date I paid as I fill in the form, it asks the date I travelled.  Because I put Jan 2025 it tells me that I entered an invalid date and will not allow me to proceed.  How do I overcome this?
