I'm trying to update TurboTax Deluxe in the Medical and Professionals $ amount field. It's locked. Will not let me delete what's there or even overprint a new amount. Did not want to wait for 30-40 minutes on hold.

PRIOR YEAR USE OF A SUPPORTING DETAILS WORKSHEET :
If you find you have a $0 in an entry field that cannot be changed … this issue is almost always one in which you used a "Supporting Details" (SD) sheet in that field in the prior year. What happens is that when you transfer in the prior year's data, the SD sheet is transferred too, but empty...and that causes the $0 to show up in many areas of the Step-by-Step mode interview....wherever the SD sheet was used before.
But when switching to Forms Mode, when you try to enter a $$ amount in a field where the SD sheet is attached, the SD sheet will pop up immediately, and you can either enter the $$ amount on that sheet, or delete the SD sheet entirely and avoid future issues (unless you really want the SD sheet)
Sometimes, when you see the $0 in Step-by-Step, you can just
Thank you. It was the detail page that was causing the lock-out. Fixed.
