Navigation is a bit tricky with this system. If you want to make changes to a previous screen, you must first complete what you are working on with the present screen and then go to the section that you want to correct.

Working with Tax Brains will feel working with the paper forms. So it's not the best for beginners. But it will help you decide which form(s) you need. You will just have to type in the figures online.
