Unable to enter Passive Losses From Prior Years

There are no data fields on the "Passive Losses From Prior Years" page for Schedule E. If I click on "I have passive activity losses reported on Schedule D or Form 4797" data fields appear for them but not Schedule E. Running TurboTax premier on an iMac with the latest OS X. Anyone else seeing this? Is there a fix for this?

The admin response doesn't work since the program will not allow any data to be carried over nor to be manually inputted.

This just takes me back to the screenshot which guppyguy2009 posted. There is a small entry box next to "Regular Tax Carryovers:" but nothing can be entered into it.
