I’m rereading AR 600-18-9 and it is still confusing on how to calculate the points. Can anyone help?

Pretty straightforward - For promotion to SGT, You can receive the following points (max) in each category [NOTE: This is going to change as of 1 April 2023]*
• Up to 340 points for "military training' (section 3-16)
••• Weapons qualification (160 points max)
••• APFT (180 points max)
• Up to 125 points for 'awards, decorations, and achievements' (section 3-17)
• Up to 200 points for military education (section 3-18)
••• PME (40 points max)
••• Resident military Training (80 points max)
••• Computer-based training/nonresident (80 points max)
• Up to 135 points for civilian education (section 3-19)
That gives you a possible max of 800 points for promotion to SGT. You'll have to go through each section and calculate your points.
Is there something specific you're having trouble with?

I have an ATTRS transcript, but the problem I am having is how to know which is non-resident and a resident and in AR 600-18-9 it’s says for correspondence courses it is 1 point per 5 hours. But I can’t do that because I’m confused on which are non-resident courses and which are just resident courses.

SPC (Join to see) - Don't have access to ATRRS right now, but the hours should be shown on the transcript. If the course is <30 minutes, then it will be 0 .. otherwise it should be shown.
You can always go into ATRRS and reprint the certificates for the courses (which should have the hours of instruction on it) - https://www.atrrs.army.mil/selfdevctr

The unit Admin will calculate your points, you can take your time and review based on the regulation as well if that makes you more comfortable it is smart to double check, you don’t want to give possible points away.
