Add tickmarks or field notes

As you review the return, it may help to add tickmarks or notes next to items. Tickmarks are useful for showing the status of a field. For example, you reviewed it and the amount looks good, or it needs attention. Field notes are better when you want to leave a comment or question about the item.
Tickmarks show as checkmarks  next to fields or line items. Field notes show as musical notes  . You can use different colors for different meanings for both tickmarks and field notes. You can also create custom tickmarks in
