just to get an idea how the new 1040 looks and how the input works.. totally different. will take some time to get used to and learn. 

anyone else take a look at it yet?

are there any intuit courses or webinars on how to use the 2018 program?

albeit it different, i think I like that look at the top. I think what @Jim from Ohio is referring to is when you quick zoom to 1040 and scroll down to say, line 7 can you still quick zoom to W-2 worksheet and line 8 interest etc......or maybe he is referring to info worksheet?

There always has to be the odd one out there.  I just did a test return covering most things from an average return and found you can pretty much ignore those links on the Information Page.  Just go to the form you want to use in exactly the way we have always done it.  In my case I went to forms and typed in the letter C and went to a Schedule C as it has done for many years.  I did the same thing with SE with no changes from the way it was done in prior years. I think we just need to use intuitive (that pun again) reasoning and ignore the extraneous links.

So far the only form I couldn't reach that way was Sch A and that you find by using Postcard Line 8 and clicking on the box that is on the correct line.

I know there is one for "preparing business returns" designed for new users, but not sure, let me see what I can find.  Here is where that one is though: https://proconnect.intuit.com/training/proseries/

thank you. been using PS since 1997!  long time. it has always basically had the same look for those 20+ years... totally different now.  I am used to preparing the returns going down the 1040, like if i was doing it manually, quick zooming to the backup forms.. seems so different now
