Changing one entry

tracym1 — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 17:29:45 GMT

All I did was enter one what-turned-out-to-be-wrong figure (because I was estimating, waiting for an actual tax form to show up, which it finally did--late). Now that I have the actual form with the correct figure on it, I don't seem to be able to go back into Turbo Tax 2024 and correct that one figure--it behaves as though it were carved in stone. Am I missing something? Thanks.

We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question? What are you trying to enter/change?

I entered the wrong amount for property taxes when I was filling in the “itemized deductions” part of the personal info part of TurboTax 2024. When I realized my mistake, I went back and tried to enter the correct numbers, and it simply would not let me make the change. At that point, I had not completed the form or submitted it—as far as I knew it was still a work in progress. Is there some trick I don’t know about? Thanks.

If I understand correctly, you can get into your tax return, and you want to make a change to your property tax.

If this is accurate, Yes, there is a twist in the program that you may have missed.

Select Deductions and Credits from the left sidebar.

You will see both
- Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098)
- Property (Real Estate) Taxes
The natural instinct is to select Property (Real Estate) Taxes
However, you cannot EDIT the original post
Select Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098)
This is what you originally posted and you can edit the property tax.

In fact there is some trick you don’t know about
