Any place to enter personal notes?

[brlee8]

As I prepare my taxes, I sometimes want to enter personal notes -- things like "remember to find actual amount of receipt" for a specific itemized deduction I am claiming. In other words, I want to enter some things now as a placeholder, then come back to that item later when I've found more accurate information. Is there any way to enter notes, or at least flag an item that I want to come back to later? This is NOT for the purpose of transmitting anything to the IRS -- only for personal use.

The Desktop version of TTax definitely provides this function (I use it extensively).

I do believe the On-Line version offers this.  You can 'test' it by hitting just the 'Enter' key in the data entry space.  If it is available a separate pop-up window should appear.

Of course if it works and you use it be sure to PRINT a copy of your return (selecting the option to print ALL SUPPORTING information; and also be sure to save (and download) a .pdf copy of your return also with the option to print ALL SUPPORTING information.

Thanks for the reply; I'm afraid I can't find a way to make the online version do this. And I do prefer the online version to the download.  I suppose I will just keep a separate notepad..... unless the TurboTax gurus who monitor this forum can put in an enhancement to the online product 🙂

Don't hold your breath.  There are still problems identified 2+ yrs ago that are still in the current version.
