It took me hours to finally figure this one out.  My company did not make PTET payments in 2023, so I did not enter anything on K-1 for PTE.  So Form 3804-CR did not show up.  And TurboTax can not find nor open this form when I tried manual search. 

I had to do a combo of what PatriciaV did and add a second step: 

 

Step 1:  Add an amount (I used $1) by going to : Business >> Partnership K-1 >> (edit) >> Partnership K-1 Adjustments >> Credits >> 15f-Form3804-CR

 

Step 2:  Switch to Forms view (forms icon on upper right corner).  Find Form 3804-CR.  Then right-click and chose Override  on the field you want to make changes on.  I changed my $1 PTE payment to $0.

 

As other have said, it is NOT ACCEPTABLE that Turbotax does NOT automatically have the PTE credit carryover to 2023 from the prior year (Form 3804-CR)!

In addition, Turbotax's California state tax reporting is get more and more confusing and less user-friendly.
Turbotax needs to step up or we'd have to switch to a better software, and there's plenty out there.
