I have spent some hours creating form fields and calculations on a tax return form, only to discover it was the wrong form ! Is there anyway I can transfer the fields I have created to another form where most of the fields are similar. Thanks

Yes, use the Select Object tool and select the fields on the bad form and copy them. Paste the copied fields on another form. Alternately, you can also use the Document > Replace Pages command to change the background design on the file with the data fields.ted
