    What exactly do you mean by "manual entry forms"?

    If you mean making entries on forms, it is not available in ProConnect Tax, which is an input-based tax program.  ProSeries, on the other hand, is form-based.

    You can, however, open multiple windows to preview forms by clicking on the "Preview forms" button in the top-right corner of the input screen.  Many (but not all) lines on the forms have a link (denoted as a blue highlight) that will bring you to the relevant main input screen (but not to the exact input field).  The forms on preview also do not refresh themselves as you make data entries - to see the changes, you need to hit "Refresh forms".  To learn more about this feature, you can watch this video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V9sQHYbV2Q&t=27s

    This is where it lives in Lacerte, which is similar.

    Thanks for the reminder, @PhoebeRoberts.  Have totally forgotten about this feature.

    @icerider That used to be available for certain NY forms only.  It appears as the last item under Table of Contents only when manual entry forms are available for the state that has been chosen under Profile.

    For some reason, this feature does not appear to be available at all, at least for now, for TY2023.  @1569, has anything changed with the availability of manual entry forms in ProConnect Tax this year?

    Right.  The manual forms input screen is not showing up in proconnect. np, I attached the PDF anyway.  It is a nice idea though.
