1. A method for contextually representing errors during data entry, comprising: obtaining, using a processor of a computer system, an expandable and collapsible tree (ECT) corresponding to a data entry process, wherein the ECT comprises a first node, a second node, and a third node, wherein the first node corresponds to a tax data entry task of the data entry process, and wherein the third node corresponds to a transaction data entry task of the data entry process; displaying, using the processor, an expanded display of the ECT, wherein the first node, the second node, and the third node are visible in the expanded display of the ECT, and wherein the first node and the third node are children of the second node; presenting, using the processor, a tax record corresponding to the tax data entry task, wherein the tax record includes a data field for entry of data; receiving a data entry for the data field, wherein the data field is associated with an acceptable data range; determining that the data entry comprises a data entry error when the data entry is not within the acceptable data range; displaying, in association with the data field, a first error indicium indicating the data entry error; displaying, on a collapsed display of the ECT, in association with the second node, a second error indicium indicating the data entry error corresponding to the first node, wherein the second node is visible in the collapsed display of the ECT, and the first node is not visible in the collapsed display of the ECT when the second error indicium is displayed; and upon displaying the second error indicium, presenting a transaction record corresponding to the transaction data entry task.
