Are you using TurboTax Desktop or TurboTax Online? What year are you doing taxes for? What happens when you are filling in the northern living allowance section?

When the answering machine starts speaking, tell it what your issue is. Then when it asks if you want it to send you information by text message or email, say no. Then it will collect some info and transfer you to a live agent.

@Paul709 We suggest you to contact our product support team by phone. They have access to tools we don't have here in Community, like screenshare, and see the issues to escalate into an investigation if needed.
Feel free let us know what the result was. 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Same issue here.  Please fix without forcing users to have to all call in with the same problem and get frustrated with AI.
