That would be me, too. Sometimes when it is loading, I may be typing something elsewhere and suddenly the first name on a completed return has changed (wish they would fix that!). But I always know it won't stay. I occasionally my change some factors in the Planning, print the change, then close, but not save. I like that feature - quicker than duplicating when unnecessary.

I always mark the return complete. Then no changes without a warning.

yes, if you use the pdf of the prior yr, you see it,, but can't accidentally change it.

I have had current on my middle monitor with prior on the left so they appear chronologically. When possible, I open the .pdf of the prior year to look at it. Sometimes I need to open the prior year software to see how I did something, where I entered it; but I close it as soon as possible.

Here's another two monitor person. I, too, will never go back. I also actively decided against a single super large monitor with multiple windows. I consistently and have for about 3 years had the prior year on the right monitor and current year on the left. Greatest thing since (your choice)!

Same here. I discovered the huge benefits of dual monitors from the fine people on this forum (actually its predecessor) several years ago, and now I can't imagine working without dual monitors.

More mistakes will be made by tax preparers if multiple returns are opened. When I open the previous year just to see how the return looked like, I end up working on the previous year return. Sometimes I realize that I was working on the wrong year when I am ready to efile. Most of the time I blame the stupid computer system.... I don't explain to my clients that a computer system includes the idiot behind the keyboard.
