Field Calculation Issues in W-2/1099

If a field is blue, the field is a manual entry field, and no worksheets or other fields are linked to it. If the field does not show the calculated value you expected, it might be because:

     You overrode its contents.

     You overrode a calculated field that links to the field that you believe calculated incorrectly.

     You overrode another field in the series of fields that combine to generate the value in the field in question.

To locate overridden fields in a return, you can select the Overrides check box in the Check Return*Error_Check feature. In an open return, click the Check Return button on the toolbar, and then select the Overrides check box. The Check Return window shows all fields in the return that have been overridden, along with any other items you selected (estimated fields, errors, etc.). To undo an override, restore the overridden field. For more information, see Restoring overridden fields*Restoring_Overridden_Calculations.
