Unable to enter on Form

I need to enter information on Form 8582-CR, line 4b, Prior Year Unallocated Credits. Double clicking the box takes me to the worksheet for that form, but none of the boxes on the worksheet will allow any entry. I am using TurboTax Mac desktop Home and Business

Unable to enter on Form

The worksheets that flow to Form 8582-CR are completely calculated. You must enter the passive credits directly on the Passive Credit Entry Worksheet on the source forms:

  1. Schedule K-1 Worksheets-Partnership, 
  2. Schedule K-1 Worksheets-S Corporation, 
  3. Schedule K-1 Worksheets-Estates & Trusts, 
  4. Work Credits line of Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business), 
  5. Schedule F (Profit or Loss from Farming) or Form 4835 (Farm Rental Income and Expenses), 
  6. Form 8881 (Credit for Small Employer Pension Plan Startup Costs and Auto-Enrollment). The Form 8881 credit amount will first flow to the Schedule C, Schedule F or Form 4835 it is linked to.
  7. Form 8586 (Low-Income Housing Credit). 

 

The program will transfer information from these K-1s and forms to Passive Credit Worksheets 1 through 4 UNLESS a box on the K-1, Form 4835, Schedule C or F has been checked that indicates the activity is nonpassive, or was a Publicly Traded Partnership. In the case of Form 8586, the treatment of passive versus non-passive is handled by the method of entry on the form itself.
