How do I enter new figures in when ammending a return? Update and continue selections take me in a circle with never an opportunity to enter new figures

Please see the TurboTax Help article "How to amend (change or correct) a return you already filed" for guidance on how to amend your previously-filed tax return.

I have followed the instructions for amending my 2018 return but I cannot enter any new information into the return. How do I actually amend the return? Please do not answer by sending me the canned reply. I need to know how to enter the new figures. The update and continue selections in the program just take me in a circle but no new figures can be entered. I have been asking turbo tax these questions for days.

Once you have entered the return and are amending, you need to change the figures in the same spot you entered the original figures.

So if you are correcting an entry in the Home Mortgage section, you would go to:

While signed in and working in TurboTax
Click on Federal in the left-hand black menu
Click on Deductions and Credits
Scroll down and click on Show More next to Your Home
Click on Start or Revisit next to Mortgage Interest and Refinancing (Form 1098)

I am not sure where you are getting stuck. Once you are past the initial questions of the amended return, you should click Federal in the left-hand menu to get out of the loop. Then you should be free to wander around the program and change whatever numbers you choose. Do not forget to get a copy of your originally filed return before amending.
