Calculating a Return
This chapter covers calculating, viewing, and printing returns. A return must be calculated
before it can be viewed, printed, or e-filed. Calculate returns as often as needed.
To calculate a return from data entry, click Calculate. By default, results are displayed
in the Calculation Results window. (See Figure 6-2 on page 194.)
To calculate one or more returns from the Home window (without using data entry):
1. Click Calculate. The Batch Calculation dialog box (Figure 6-1) displays the last
nine returns calculated. Each return is indicated by a function (“F”) key.
