All that comes up is the instructions saying to click the "jump to" which is not actually there when you follow the instructions.

Let's try a different way to get there.

Go to:

Other tax situations at the top of your screen
Select Other Tax Forms > Show More
Select Report an injured or innocent spouse claim > Start/Revisit

A second alternative is

On the menu bar on the left that shows.
1. My Info
2. Federal
3. State
4. Review
5. File
Select Tax Tools
On the drop-down select Tools
There will be 4 green boxes
Select Tax Topics
Type innocent spouse

Thank you for the reply! After posting this question I realized that maybe I needed to interact with the return to make sure it was actually open. Sure enough, after I clicked through some buttons and then tried the "injured spouse" in the search box the "jump to..." option appeared.

Maybe this will help someone else if they have the same issue.

After this I had the problem where it added 8857 in addition to 8837, which I then had to figure out how to delete before I could file. I ended up having to go into that Tax tools option and delete it from there.
