What is this and how can I enter? We have not sold our home!

Go back to the section in Deductions and Credits where you entered real estate taxes paid on your principal residence and check your entries. TurboTax is indicating that there was a negative number.

 

You can enter the taxes either in the Mortgage Interest section or the Taxes section, as long as they are not duplicated.
