Seeing lots of questions lately about how to tell who touched or Efiled a return in ProSeries....as far as I know there is no log of that kept anywhere of who worked on a return....seems like if youre going to allow multiple people access a return, there really should be a away to track who did what and when.

Each computer does keep an Efile Transmission Log, I guess you could dig through that too see which computer a return was actually Efiled from....unless multiple people have access to the same computers, then that doesnt really help either.

@IntuitBettyJo  any suggestions with this? 

I can't imagine that there is now way of seeing the log of who touched a return. That is ridiculous to not have access to. Any software company should know this should be a critical report to view. They do it for QuickBooks. Why not do it for Tax Returns. I don't care who necessarily E-filed the return, because that same person may not have prepared the return. 

Hi there, 

ProSeries does not have an Audit log.  The closest thing that we have to this type of function would be the preparer code in the Tools > Options section. 

I think this type of enhancement to the program would make a lot of sense and our developers would love to hear about it.  Here is a link to our ProSeries Product Suggestions Page . 

Thanks for the insight!
