AS soon as I elect update stocks, Turbotax presents a summation of what I have entered but I cannot edit any of the data. There is no selection to edit.

If you're using TurboTax Online, and you don't have your display at Full Screen, you may not see the Edit and Delete icons, which are at the far right.
