SUMMARY

This article demonstrates how to print acknowledgement letters in the program.

MORE INFORMATION

Acknowledgement letters provide information to the taxpayer concerning their return, including when the return was acknowledged, how much their refund will be, and an approximate time as to when these funds will be available. These letters also provide information concerning any payments due and where to send them. There is an acknowledgement letter for the federal return as well as for state returns.
Acknowledgement letters can be printed in three different ways. As returns are acknowledged, acknowledgement letters will appear on the Work In Progress screen under the Printing Queue section. There is a report that can be used to print acknowledgement letters by date range. Finally, an acknowledgement letter can be printed from within a return under the print menu.

Method 1: Acknowledgement letters on the Work In Progress Summary

Note: If the program is configured to discard ACK letters acknowledgement letters will not appear on the Work in Progress Summary and cannot be printed this way.
  1. Open the program and go to the Work In Progress Summary.
