Is there a way to flag pages in the automated Turbotax process that I need to return to remind myself to enter W2 info, EIN for childcare provider, etc?

Is there a way to flag pages in the automated Turbotax process that I need to return to remind myself to enter W2 info, EIN for childcare provider, etc?

Yes.  You can put a flag on those areas in TurboTax.  To do this, click on Tax Tools on the left side menu, then click Tools, and then click on Flags, the upper right box.   You can save certain pages you want to quickly come back to.    Your saved pages are listed on that screen.  

 

It is a good tool to use for W-2s and income entries.   For the EIN on the childcare provider on Form 2441, TurboTax will catch that during the review.   If you do not enter the EIN or SSN for the provider, those expenses will not count towards the Child and Dependent Care Credit.   See this help article.    But TurboTax doesn't know if you have one W-2 or 10 of them, so flagging this area is great idea.
