I can't say I remember the screen being presented that way. And it does seem I would have answered that question correctly. And yet, again, I had this problem (and so did others). Just suggesting this should be investigated.

also running Premier on MAC OS 26 and for example I have no issue entering an EV, saving, and coming back to edit it.   Not to say there aren't bugs you are hitting (esp in the reworked charity donation section) but there are probably different issues here that may not be things Intuit can "fix" so you may need to workaround in Forms mode, try re-installing the s/w etc.   If you have screenshots where you are seeing things that you can't edit only add that may be helpful to see, you can attach using the camera button above the message box here (don't attach personal info).

When amending your tax return, separate the 1099-K income between personal items and hobby sales. '   The personal items you sold at a loss aren't deductible. The hobby income must be reported as other income and expenses can only offset income up to the amount earned.    For more information, see   How do I enter a 1099-K for hobby income  

Yes, you are correct, you can only deduct the percentage of business use.  When you enter your home expenses in TurboTax, the program asks for the total area of the home and what are is used for business.  The program will calculate the business use.  As you enter your expenses, TurboTax will ask for two types of expenses direct and indirect.     Direct expenses are related only to the area of the home used for business and they are deducted in full. For indirect expenses, you can only deduct the percentage of the home used for business activities to deduct indirect expenses.  In your case, your mortgage is an indirect expense and you can only include the percentage of business use.  Make sure that you are indicating that your interest is an indirect expense and TurboTax will calculate the percentage of business use and will allocate the expenses.     How small business owners can deduct their home office from their taxes   Can I take the home office deduction?   Where do I enter the home office deduction for my business?    

Income received from serving on a board of directors is typically classified as self-employment income. Therefore, you must report this income within the self-employment section of TurboTax.   To enter your Form 1099-NEC in TurboTax, follow these steps:   1. Go to the Wages & Income section. 2. Find the area for 1099-MISC and Other Common Income. 3. Select Start or Update next to Income from Form 1099-NEC. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your details.   This process also helps you enter any business expenses related to this income to potentially reduce your taxable income.
