One of the deprovements this year was to break this section. Settings > Options > Interest Rates

I do not believe the Get Interest Rates works even now. You will need to enter a 3 for the 1st quarter. PLUS add state rates. At least the view interest rates is now working. It was going to Tax Almanac to get you absolutely no information. 

Just consider this section to be a work in progress and do your own research to get it set up correctly.

FWIW - I can enter the rates.

Maybe close/reopen?  Or even reboot?
