Question

Can't edit form for 1040 schedule B entry

I need to correct an adjustment amount on Schedule B as an "OID Adjustment" throwing up errors when I try to e-File because it shows up as a negative amount which the IRS will not allow on this form. It can't be a negative amount. When I combed through the IRS instructions for this form they gave specific instructions on how to do this but I can't edit the form in TurboTax. I'm supposed to subtotal amounts and then below all of that enter an "

OID Adjustment." I can't do this when using EasyStep, and I can't do it either when trying to edit the form directly by launching "Forms." It's holding me up from completing my taxes and e-filing it! (No, right-clicking the field doesn't work) I'm on a MacBook Pro M2.

    Phone number is helpful. Sending me to "Desktop FAQ" - waste of my time. I don't need to know how to install the software and update it since it's already installed and updated every time I start up (it checks for updates, right)?
