SteamTrain's workaround (switch to forms mode to enter this year's SS numbers and then switch back to step by step) solved the immediate problem. Now I can get along with entering data and filing my tax return. THANK YOU.
Has anybody reported this bug to Intuit? I think the root bug is in transferring data from last year's tax return to this year's. In my case, when I switched to the form view, I saw that last year's social security numbers were already there. I had used the + helper form to add two SS numbers and it had been transferred from last year too.
