How do you avoid the 14 pages to directly enter Business Expenses in TurboTax Online Self-Employed 2024

Hi,

How do you avoid repeatedly stepping through the 14 web page screens (the business interview questionnaire pages you've already answered, which requires you sequentially click the green "Continue" button on each web page) - to instead directly navigate to this screen:

"Select the types of expenses you have"

or to this screen:

"Here's your (business type) info"

 

...to enter, edit, or update your existing Business Expense deductions in TurboTax Online Self-Employed 2024.

We could do this 2 years ago with the sidebar access UI.

It takes forever stepping through these 14 "interview" pages each time I want to make one adjustment to any business deduction in TurboTax Online Self-Employed 2024.

Thank you.

Please search Self- employment in the search bar from the Tax home page and it can directly take you to Your Self-Employment or Business Summary and you can simply start editing from there. 

The layout of the TurboTax Online Edition has been updated this year. Your feedback is important to us. We will pass it to our development team.

 

Thanks for choosing TurboTax.

When I type "Self-Employment" etc into that Search input field and hit Return, it just offers up one result, which takes me to the initial:

"Your Self-Employment or Business Summary"

 

...with that ^ page containing the teal green "Edit" link adjacent to the net income total for my business. Clicking on which - results in me having to step through those 14 web page screens I described, to simply access, and update my business expense deductions.

The Search does allow me to land on either of the pages I described we need to navigate directly to: ("Select the type of expenses you have" or "Here's your (business type) info" which would bypass those 14 web page screens.

We need the 2022 sidebar - which allows us a way to not be forced every time through this 14 screen questionnaire, when we just want to update one deduction amount (eg. business travel).
