    A full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files).

    For stuck information follow these steps:

    Online version:

    1. Delete the form/ worksheet- if possible, see How to Delete  
    2. Log out of your return and try one or more of the following:
      • Don't use Internet Explorer.
      • Clear cache and cookies,
      • Sign in using a different browser.
      • Sign in using a different device.
    3. Log back into your return.
      • Enter the information again.

     

    Desktop version: 

    1. Delete the form
    2. Save your return while closing the program.
    3. Update the program
    4. Open
    5. Enter the information again.

    Yeah, that was a problem for some folks earlier this year.

     

    I'm trying to remember if it was just the Desktop software or not....I think it was only Desktop software.

     

    I "seem" to recall, that by deleting the empty SSA worksheet that was in the file (Forms Mode), that allowed the person to proceed.

    (but could be wrong)
