Thank you, I have entered long term non covered, and found where I enter I inherited it.  Almost there, but Turbotax is asking for the cost basis, but no cost basis is listed on the 1099B. Apparently it is the date of death value --this is not on the 1099B. I have entered 0 on TurboTax Box 1e, even though there is no 1e on the 1099B, but TurboTax still seems to want a number other than 0, so I am stumped. Thanks for this last bit of help to enter correctly. Kathy 

first of all I think you misunderstood the question of what I said it second about who are you talking to because that’s not what I said about saving 112 and I did not share my screen because it’s my personal information so I just would rather you not answer the question have a good day

Shot in the dark ----- Have you tried starting to enter the W-2 and then switching to Forms Mode to enter the rest and then switching back to Interview Mode? Maybe some variation of that would work also.

@dmlogan69    If your DocID has 6 numbers, Some folks have been told to enter the number with leading zeros (3 of them??) to make a total of nine digits...but have no idea if it works.  Other folks say that didn't work.   Call Customer Support during the weekdays if it doesn't. How do I contact TurboTax?

You can no longer use TurboTax Online to file for 2024. TurboTax Online is only for the current tax year, which is now 2025. To file for 2024 you have to use the desktop TurboTax software for 2024. You can purchase a download at the following link. Past Years' Products The desktop TurboTax software can only be used on a Windows or Mac computer, not on a mobile device or a Chromebook. Tax returns for past years cannot be e-filed. You will have to print your 2024 tax return, sign it, and file it by mail. When you file by mail you have to attach copies of your W-2s and any W-2G or 1099-R that has tax withheld. We suggest that you mail it by certified mail with a return receipt so that you get tracking and confirmation of delivery. Mail your federal and state tax returns in separate envelopes, because they go to different places. Follow the filing instructions that TurboTax prints.
