How do I type into the search bar?

I'm using the premiere cd version (windows). I'm trying to follow this direction:

"Using the search bar, type K-1 and select the Jump to link in the search results"

On the upper right side of the screen there is a magnifying glass with the word SEARCH. But when I click on it, it doesn't allow me to type anything in. It tells me to type something in but there is no place to do it. What am I doing wrong?

TurboTax has removed the Search function from the CD/Download TurboTax software. It has been replaced by the TurboTax Digital Assistant, which is what you see when you click on the word Search with the magnifying glass. All the previous instructions to click on a "Jump to" link no longer work in the TurboTax CD/Download software.

At the bottom of the Digital Assistant window, where it says "Type something," if you click on the words "Type something" you will be able to type there. But you are typing into the Digital Assistant, not Search, and you will not get a "Jump to" link.

To enter a Schedule K-1, click on:

Federal Taxes
Wages & Income
I'll choose what I work on
Scroll down to "Business Items"
Click the Start or Update button for Schedules K-1, Q

I'm still getting the Jump To link in my Home & Business version on Windows 10. I click on Search and get the Turbo Tax Help box. I typed in K-1 at the TOP of the box and hit the Return/Enter key. I got the Jump to k-1 link. The trick is to hit enter when you type in the search box.

The people who can't get the "Jump to" links are not getting the Search box at all. As soon as they click Search they get the TurboTax Digital Assistant. There is no opportunity to type a search term or press Enter. See the screen shot below.

We don't know why you are still getting the old Search. TurboTax might be rolling out the change to a subset of users.
