I see another user had this same issue when using the Home and business version of turbo tax. The program is not allowing us to input our real estate taxes for schedule A on the 1040. The enter info button by the pencil takes you back to the main 2024 Deduction and Credit screen for all your deductions and does not open up the area for us to input our real estate taxes. Turbo tax will you be fixing this issue soon?
We are aware of the problem and are working to resolve it.
Please read this TurboTax Help article for more information.
@MinhT1 I think I figured it out, at least how to get it to work
(the software fix to prevent the problem in the first place, is still needed though).
__________________________
If you used that Property Tax entry field last year, and if you used a Supporting Details (SD ) sheet for putting it in last year, then the SD sheet transferred (empty) into this year's forms...AND...the SD sheet is somehow blocking the "interview" for the Property Taxes entry, to transition to the proper entry page.
_______________
My fix:
1) Switch to Forms Mode.
2) Open the Tax and Interest Deduction Worksheet
3) There should be a zero on line 2a of that worksheet....double-click on it.
4) Delete the worksheet by hitting the big red X
5) Either enter you Property taxes on that line....or...return to the interview and enter your property taxes using the interview ..as you normally would..shoud be OK now.

I found that if I re-introduced a new SD sheet for that line...the interview still proceeded as it normally should. So deleting the transferred-in SD sheet from 2023 was the main fix. and starting a new SD sheet doesn't re-introduce the problem.
Thank you! 😍 The only way to input it was in the forms view, but it worked! Yes TT still needs to fix the problem.
Real estate taxes are a rather large deduction to miss. January 26 TurboTax said they are working on it, but it is already March 13 and still no fix for this issue in 2024 Home and Business Version of Turbo Tax.
This is ridiculous!!
I'm not having any trouble entering the property taxes on the Home and Business version of TurboTax. If you are using the desktop version of the program, you need to do the updates (online menu, then check for updates).
