Cannot enter or edit info under 1099. Needs review is highlighted, but will not proceed. Forced one entry via form workaround, with the same result, cannot edit.

I have PC desktop version Premier, updated. Was told by "help" to uninstall, repair & re-install. Result - no change in software, same glitches. There may be others, but I get stopped at entering income section.

Once taxes are filed, vacation starts. Would like to get going!

You didn't specify.

Folks with this issue for 1099-R forms in Desktop software fixed it by going to Forms Mode and deleting all existing 1099-R forms...then returning to the main interview to re-enter them

Don't know why this is happing for, what seems to be, a small subset of Desktop users...but it is.

Can also happen when trying to go in and enter data from SSA-1099 forms...Again...going into Forms Mode and deleting the SS Benefits Worksheet seemed to work for (most?-All?) everyone.

Thank you. So far, 1099R, 1099B.

Will try the 1099R work around. The one form I added was #5, the first 4 were to be updated from 2024. All 5 are blocked now, says needs review with no option to do so.

Following your direction, If i delete all via 5 forms and start over that is a step in the right direction. Thanks.

1099B option never comes up. May have to try and force those via forms as well.

Starting my evaluations of other tax return options. I understand they have a glitch or 2, but the lack of info is unprofessional. They need a banner with a daily, at least, update.

OF course, if you want to test it without affecting your current file...you could do a SAVE-AS to a different file name, and then do the deleting in that test file to see if it works.
