 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

Switch to Forms Mode:   In the top-left corner of your TurboTax window, click the Forms icon (it looks like a small piece of paper).  Alternatively, go to the top menu bar and select View > Go to Forms.  For EVs: Look for Form 8936 (Clean Vehicle Credit) or the Worksheet associated with it. Select it and then select delete at the bottom of the form. Confirm the deletion. This completely wipes that entry from the database, allowing you to start fresh in the Step-by-Step interview. Return to the Interview. Reenter the information.  

Your info was also spot on...  my bad and screwed up on that citizen question.  Now once I get the letter/info from the IRS that is supposed to get sent to me I'll have to do an amended return unless they fix it for me.  Thanks for your help.

Yes, my SSN is correct at the top of Form 8995-A, in the format xxx-xx-xxxx   However, below that in Part I, line1, column (d) it's in the second line and incorrectly rendered as xx-x-xx-xxx, which is 8 digits instead of 9.   I now see that I was supposed to fill out Schedule A (an amazingly complicated Form!) first, and that the error apparently originates there. Part 1, Line 1b, reads xx-x-xx-xxx, and again I can neither correct it nor find a Data Source for it. I'm in the income range where I'm supposed to fill out Schedule A; all the information in there was apparently filled by TTax, and it is correct except for Line 1b. Schedules B through D have no information entered.   So I am still unable to correct that tax ID entry.   Thanks again!
