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 It has been replaced by the TurboTax Digital Assistant, which is what you see when you click on the word Search with the magnifying glass.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.

Interesting. There seems to be a work around. But how come I don't get the Digital Assistant at all? Am I the only one? I must be special.

1) The very first time I opened the "Digital Assistant", it took a real long time to load.

2) Even then, most times I tried, it presented me with that stupid confirmation screen to prove you are a real person....forget what you call it for the moment...where you have to click all the boxes that have a fireplug in it..or a bus....whatever.

3) I go tired of #2, so then I noticed that I wasn't "Signed In"....you know, that spot at the bottom of the "File" menu drop down.

....3a) so I logged in there, and hit "Search" again......so now I kept getting an error for the new "Digital Assistant" screen...no matter which test file I was trying.

....3b) so I shut down TTX, and restarted it, and now clicking on the "Search" gave me the digital assistant pop-up screen without asking for verification that I was a real person.

They've got a LOT OF WORK to do with that new "thingey".
