Reviewing Warnings

When you run Error Check, TaxCut display a summary of the number of errors/warnings for your return.

Warnings include any entries that you have overridden or marked tentative. You don't need to clear all warnings. Some of these messages are just reminders. Review each message, and then take the appropriate action.

To review warnings sequentially:

  1. Click the Fix Errors button.

  2. Click Next to scroll through the error messages until you reach the first warning message.

TaxCut displays the form containing the first warning in the bottom pane of the Error Check window and automatically places the cursor in the field that is causing the problem. To display the whole form, click the Whole Form button. To close the form and return to the Error Check window, click the Close Form button at the top of the form.

  1. Fix or change the information and press Enter.

  2. Click Next to go to the next warning in the list. TaxCut displays the form and automatically places the cursor in the field causing the warning.

  3. Continue clicking Next until you have reviewed all warnings. Once you click Next after the last warning, TaxCut reruns the Error Check and the list is updated.

To delete the form with the warning:

  1. Click the Delete Form button.

  2. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

TaxCut deletes the form and reruns Error Check.

To move back through the errors and warnings:

TaxCut moves sequentially back through the list of warnings. Once you reach the beginning of the list, TaxCut reruns the Error Check, and the list is updated.

To view the whole list of errors and warnings at once:

To view a specific warning in the list:

  1. Click the Show List button to display all the errors and warnings.

  2. Click the Go to Warning button next to the warning you want to review.

  3. TaxCut displays the form containing the warning in the bottom pane of the Error Check window and automatically places the cursor in the field that is causing the warning.

  1. Fix or change the information and press Enter.  

To print the list:

Some warning messages prompt you to compare entries on multiple forms. From the Error Check window you can view a different form, if necessary.

To display a different form:

  1. Click the Forms List button in the tool bar of the Error Check window. TaxCut displays the Forms List dialog box which lists all the forms used in TaxCut.

  2. Select the form you want to display from the list.

  3. Click the Open Form button. TaxCut displays the form in the Error Check window.

  4. Click the Close button to close the Forms List dialog box.

The new form does not replace the form shown in the bottom pane of the Error Check window. When you close the new form, TaxCut continues to display the original form associated with the error or warning.
