Can I manually edit tax form 8801 in the Online version of TT?

Can I manually edit tax form 8801 in the Online version of TT?

 

I amended my 2023 Return, resulting in a change in Minimum Tax credit carry forward to 2024. I already paid for 2024, but my tax form 8801 for 2024 still shows the old credit carry forward from before the tax return amendment. I need to update this value.


I don't seem to find a way to edit tax form 8801 directly in the online version of Turbo Tax.
I think this can be done in the desktop version, but I already paid for the online version. Unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful in getting an agent from Turbo Tax to speak with me.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

To manually edit Form 8801 in TurboTax, you would have to switch to TurboTax Desktop.

 

You can download your online TurboTax file so you won't have to to re-enter all of your information. 

 

To save your return data, you can go to "Tax Tools" option on your left menu bar, and then select "Tools." You will then save your 2024 tax return to your computer.
