Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When you click on the field, is there a link (magnifying glass) to a supporting form?   And when you right click, is there an option to click on ''Override''?

 

 

 

 

In the TurboTax CD/Download software, you can override (replace) a calculated figure in Forms Mode. This feature is unavailable in TurboTax Online.

Important:  Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't have to override anything. Returns that contain overrides cannot be e-filed and may not be covered under our 100% Accurate Calculation Guarantee. We're providing these instructions to customers who understand the risks but wish to proceed anyhow.

  1. Switch to Forms Mode if you're in the Step-by Step interview. Windows | Mac
  2. Right-click the line item and select Override (Windows) or choose Override from the Edit menu (Mac).
  3. Enter the value; it should turn red, indicating an override.
  4. Switch back to the interview by clicking Step-by-Step in the upper right corner.

To undo the override, follow the same directions except choose Cancel Override in Step 2 (Windows) or uncheck Override in the Edit menu (Mac).

When you run the final review, TurboTax will alert you of any overrides in your return.
