How can I enter my spouses 2022 federal tax return (line 23600) without having the their done cause it needs the same information from me?

It won’t let me estimate a number, or put in any number. I get an error saying I need the number in order to continue and then it tells me how to calculate it, which isn’t helpful because it won’t accept any number anyway. 

I have a pretty good estimate, but it still won’t take it. Is it looking for a very specific number before it lets you continue?!

@RachB Can you please provide more information about your problem? What is the exact error message that you are getting? Are you using TurboTax Desktop or TurboTax Online?

My wife and I are filing seperately and we are both getting this same error: 

Please correct the issue(s) below before proceeding.

• Your spouse's net income (Line 23600) should be calculated by subtracting social benefit repayments (Line 23500) from their net income before adjustments (Line 23400).

It doesn't matter what ammount you enter for this and neither of us can get the exact number it wants becuase we cannot get past this step. 

So how do we proceed?
