      I use Pro and have always used the "forms" entry rather than "sheets". People who use the "sheets" view may not see than much of a different but I sure do.

        Get mine next week (ATX). It is forms-based, hopefully. Always has been in the past.

            The forms based it's what it driving me nuts. For most things I'll have the 1040 on screen and drill down to put in for the line. Where things are located on the stupid postcard is going to be a learning curve. Even something as simple as interest income; click on interest income (yeah, that one is still on page 1!) doesn't take me right to the B, but to another screen where I have to click again to go to B! Anyone with half a brain would not have made the "postcard" mandatory but rather an option so they could still put their political spin of "postcard" to public.

                My personal favorite is you need an extra form (Schedule 6) IF the client wishes to authorize someone else (including you!) to discuss the filed return.

                You have got to be kidding. Unbelievable.
