What do these field notations mean in Data Entry of my return? There are red equal signs and blue plus/minus signs, and when I enter data, the font changes color.
From the Drake Software User's Manual page 138:
"By default, fields that allow overrides are preceded by a red equal sign (=) and display red text. Data entered in these fields replaces, or overrides, program calculations.
Fields that allow adjustments are preceded by a blue plus/minus sign (+/-) and display blue text by default. Data in these fields adjust program calculations by the amount entered. A positive number increases the calculated amount; a negative number decreases it.
