Can you change the Entry form for W-2G reporting so it doesn't start blank each time?

I didn't see a regular feedback option, but I wanted to suggest that W-2G forms start with the inputs from the previous entry or ask if there are multiple forms from the same casino.  If nothing else I had to enter my complete name and address every time which of course was identical for each form.

Ok ... let me tell you a secret ... you don't have to enter any of those individual W-2G forms in the program at all. The IRS doesn't get or need all those entries ... all it gets is one amount on the form 1040 line 21. Entering them all individually would be for your use/records only so if you don't want to enter them all you don't have to.

Skip the W-2g entry screen  and just enter the total winnings on this screen ...
