Understand color coded entries

TaxWise Online uses color coding to identify types of entries on forms.

Option

Description

Green

These entries are calculated by TaxWise Online from information on supporting forms. You cannot type data directly into a calculated entry or delete the calculated value unless you override the calculation.

Black

These entries are non-calculated, and you can type data directly into them.

Red

These entries are required for e-Filing. TaxWise Online marks certain entries as required to assist you with preparing a complete and accurate tax return. You must complete entries for TaxWise Online to check off the form as “complete” on the list of forms in the Tree. When you type data in a required entry, TaxWise Online displays the text in green and converts the entry to a non-calculated entry when you refresh the return.

Blue

These entries are calculated entries that have been overridden by the preparer.
