What do the RED and BLUE borders mean?

A22. The RED border indicates a required field. You must answer all required fields or the IRS will reject your tax return. The BLUE border indicates an OVERRIDE. You can only OVERRIDE answers if you check the box at the Name and Address page. To cancel an override you can delete the data in the field and double click on the field. When there is an OVERRIDE this means that a calculation is being blocked. This feature is only intended for expert tax preparers. You should not use any OVERRIDEs unless you are certain you do not want the program to calculate the entries for you.
