I sold small business in 2017.  How/where do I need to enter the profit and loss from sale?

I don't have my program open, but did you have a question about disposing of your business in 2017?  "Current year" may mean 2018.  See if there's another option to report sale of business in 2017.  Then the interview should proceed with questions about how you disposed of your business.

@katrinanewman The original poster here found a solution by contacting TurboTax Customer Support.  See the info below for contacting them by telephone during business hours.

Yes, I had the question about disposing of the business in 2017 - and I answered YES.  I could not locate another option to report sale of business in 2017 in TurboTax.  The interview never appeared and I am not able to report the details of the sale.
