The Casualty and Theft Worksheet only has one page. If you are looking for Page 2 of Form 4684, for Section B of the form for Business or Income-Producing Property, you would need to indicate that  type of loss in the Interview section of TurboTax, and enter the pertinent information.  

Do you mean you received another W-2 or 1099 after you filed or did you try to do one document at a time?   Click here for instructions on how to Amend Your Return.     If you did just one document at a time, be aware that ALL income from ALL sources should be reported on one return.  After you enter one document (ex. 1099, W-2, etc) all you need to do is click Add a (name of document) and you will be able to include them all on one return.  

Yes, you can leave that blank and continue through the program.  The program may show the missing number as an error, but should allow you to E-file.   You also have the option to elect to file a joint return.

This is the case for your situation.         

It is fine to enter the karaoke videos the way you have been doing that.     Watching the refund meter as you enter information is not necessarily a good idea if it leads to trying to change the way you are entering an expense just to make the meter move again.  There are other things in the background that are keeping that number from changing as you enter more expenses.  You would need to look at your overall return to see why the refund meter is not changing with additional expenses.
