Screen Hyperlinks
Figure 3-4: Key combinations
Hyperlinks in data entry allow easier, more concise data entry. Hyperlinks are available
in all packages and fall into two categories: links and screen tabs.
Links
Use links to move quickly from one screen to a related screen without having to return
to the Data Entry Menu. The example in Figure 3-5 shows that Foreign Employer
Compensation screen, the INT screen, the DIV screen, and the 1099-G screen can be
directly accessed from the Income screen (screen 3).

Federal-to-state links serve as shortcuts to related state screens. For example, the state
links on screen 2441 (Child & Dependent Care Expenses) are to those state screens
for child and dependent care expenses. State links are located in a State Information
section at the upper-right corner of a screen (Figure 3-6).
