- A client note will be created as part of the e-filed return in the Individual, Corporate, S Corporate, Partnership, and Exempt Organization if Statement is selected in the left panel of the Client Notes screen.
- Some states have a character limit, so we recommend validating the return and then going to e-File and selecting e-File Support Tools and View e-File to make sure the full statement is included.
- There's no guarantee that the IRS will review these notes. Also, see Attaching PDF documents to a business return for e-file in Lacerte or Attaching PDF documents to an individual return for e-file (Form 1040).
- Lacerte doesn't support special formatting of statements or worksheets; the formatting options aren't available with these note types.
