14177: Data Entry Field Notations in Drake Tax


Miscellaneous

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.
