  • Auto-locked e-filed returns to prevent manual entry errors and calculation updates that may alter the original e-filed amounts. 
  • Returns are automatically locked after e-filing, so a copy of the e-filed version is always available for reference.
  • Return data can still be viewed in read-only mode when a return is locked, but inputs cannot be edited. 
  • Easily unlock returns and transfer original data to an amended return. 
  • Available for any completed e-filed tax return across all modules

  • Help your staff stay focused with a personalized view of their assignments.

Easily drill down to the status of each part of the return at the federal and state level, including extended and amended returns.

Multiple preparer awareness:

Get a full view of any users working on the same tax return. This can keep work moving without creating version conflicts or overwriting previous versions of the return.  

  • The person(s) icon will appear at the top of the input return screens when another member of your firm joins.  Hovering over the icon will reveal the member’s name. 
  • When multiple users are in the same return or multiple tabs of the same tax return are open, a version conflict can occur in which one person’s changes overwrite the others.
