Checkbox to automatically calculate lines 3-6, 16 is not automatically entering those amounts on the W2 wages worksheet.

Yes.  Actually there is a feature in the tools menu to “auto calculate” and to turn this feature on or off.  When its off, a bar appears at the top of the open worksheet to press the F9 key to calculate.

I’ve been using ProSeries for many many years and don’t ever recall this feature, so apparently this was what was causing those fields not to auto enter.  Once I changed it everything was good.  Never saw that feature option before.

Intuit says this feature to turn off is intended for very complex tax returns that would slow the data file down if it had to auto calculate.   It would be interesting to know when this feature was added; but not important at this point either.

maybe a corrupt worksheet, delete it and start a new one from scratch....seems to be working fine for me.

Not had any problems either.  Is it happening to all returns or just the one you are working on today?
