@kkoconnor1024 Assume you are using one of the desktop editions.

Put your cursor in the box where you want to enter an amount.

Click on View at the top of the desktop program screen for Windows

Click on Add Supporting Details

Click on the red X to remove the Details

 

You should now be able to enter an amount in box.

We in the Community cannot see your private tax data nor the screen you are on.

 

What part of TurboTax are you in? federal? state? review? What is the context of this question?

I'm trying to enter the property tax of second home in the federal tax form.  The space already has a zero in it and it won't let me change it.  thank you for your help.

There have been some issues with entering property taxes early on, but they have all been fixed now.

 

Are you using the Online version or the CD/download version of TurboTax?

 

If the Online version, close your browser and reboot, or just use another browser. This is likely a Windows issue (or Mac).

 

If the CD/download version, make sure that your "desktop" software is up to date. On the Windows version, go to the top and click on Online (ironic, isn't it?) and slide down to Check for Updates.
