Question

why does it still say "Visit All"

Next to "1099-MISC and Other Common Income" there is a blue "Visit All" button. Great. I click the button and it says "Do you have any of these types of income" and I click "No", at which point I expect the "Visit All" button to change to "Update" or "View" but it still says "Visit Alll".   Shouldn't it change after I answer "No"?

    No.   Until you actually visit the categories, you can still go back and visit all.

    Thanks for the response.

     

    That behavior doesn't make sense to me.  Why bother asking me if my "no" answer isn't going to do anything?

     

    SUGGESTION:   If the subcategories need to be visited in order to have any effect, then don't solicit a "yes" or "no" response to the "Did you have any of these types of income" question.  Instead, merely have a "CONTINUE" button so the user can answer "yes" or "no" to the subcategories, where such answers will actually have an effect.

     

    Thanks.

    The "Visit All" button will read "Visit All" for all eternity, no matter what you do. It's always been that way.

    The bottons for the sub-categories below the Visit All button will change however. They say "Start" until you actually click that button and change something in that subcategory. Then after that, they will read "Update" or "EDIT" until the end of all eternity.
