Actually it is software for 2021--not 2022----but what happens when you try to enter data?  And are you trying to use the CD/download or online software?

Perhaps define a particular section that it won't let you enter "anything"

 

It shouldn't happen in the Personal Info section

BUT 

(while this may not be the problem...I'll take a flyer and suggest it anyhow)

 

For some $$ entry sections, where you entered "Supporting Details" for an entry last year, you need to take a special step to get it to take a number this year

...sometimes a double-click will do it,

.....sometimes you can click in the box once then and then go to the top menu on the screen and click on <Edit....then <<Add Supporting Details from the drop-down menu.  IF the SuppDet box shows up you can either add your entry in there...or hit the Red "X" to delete the whole SuppDet worksheet and then make your normal entry.

I wasting over 2 hrs of my time on the phone with 2 separate customer care reps neither of which had any idea what was wrong. They me repeatedly  change settings, resolution, etc. none of which helped. Eventually I was told I must have a corrupt cd. They had me fill out a refund form and told me I could now get a download - which I later found out I couldn't download until the refund was approved which will take 5-7 days. They also didn't know how the refund would be issued, or how I would be notified........

Needless to say I was not at all impressed with customer care. Neither rep was of any help at all. I honestly felt both were very uninformed and that they kept me on the line to avoid taking another call. 

I've been using turbo tax for years with no issues, hopefully this is an isolated incident.

it wont accept numbers in the income or certain deduction sections

Is there a reason I can't enter anything in my 2022 Deluxe edition yet?

This issue  almost always happens because  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

a)  double-click on the field and the SD sheet will pop up... that doesn't work in all cases.

  b)  Another way is to click on the field, then go up to the menu..."<<Edit<<<Add Supporting Details"....then the SD sheet pops up and you can use it, or delete the SD sheet entirely and then the regular field will work properly.

or

c)  click on the problem field, then switch to Forms Mode to make that entry
