You can use the Forms menu option to make entries directly in the forms. However, many of the entries can only be made from the question and answer menu. If you right click your mouse on the line you want to enter, you will see a menu that shows you the source of that entry. Often you can go to the form or schedule that is the source of an entry and make an enter there that will flow over to the entry you are trying to populate. 

 So you are claiming credits?  Which credits are you claiming?  Make sure to answer all questions related to the credits especially during K-1 interview there may be more details like Line 20 of the k-1.   If the form was mistakenly triggered (e.g., via a K-1), you can delete it by going to Tools > Delete a form (online) or via Forms Mode (desktop).   What section of the form is showing an error?  If it is the registration section, enter  "TMXXX99XXXXX" on Line 2a, this will allow you to e-file.  Go under REVIEW forms to see errors which will be in pink.   If you do not have an investment credit but the form is being pulled into your tax return, please do the following to help resolve the issue.     Log back into your desktop program and select the Business tab, and then select Business Income and Expenses. Scroll down to the section titled Less Common Business Situations. Select update/start to the right of the section titled Business Credits. On the next page, select update/start to the right of the section titled Investment credit. On the page titled Investments credits, answer yes to the question asking if you want to take an investment credit for 2023. Select Delete to the right of any investment credits listed.   Proceed through the screens and select Federal Review. The error message should be gone and you should be able to file your return.   If your claiming the credit under 48C, 48C or under Section 48, you may need to file the new 7220 form by completing it on the IRS website and adding it as a PDF attachment.   @JCH10

This still doesn't work for me...   You refer to the "Charitable Contributions Worksheet" and "Schedule A Worksheet," but forms with these exact names aren't in the list of forms for my return.  I've tried your process on the Charitable Contributions Summary and the Cash Contributions Worksheet and still find a grayed-out Sort Table after I open Edit tab.  I've tried the process with the data sources for the information in the Gifts to Charity, lines 11, 12, and 14 of  Schedule A.  All roads lead to a grayed-out Sort Table.   What am I missing?

Yes.  You will mark on the form in the personal info section that this person died prior to filing.  Then all the information you enter will be information about them and from their tax forms.  You would not enter any of your personal financial information on the return.    Death in the Family
