About Statuses

Corporate Taxprep provides you with statuses (including the return status and the EFILE status), which allow you to keep track of where the returns are currently at in the processing stages.

Statuses, when inserted in the filter or the diagnostic settings, may be used in the Client Manager or in the diagnostic pane to create and generate return follow-up reports.

Client file statuses may be listed in the Client Manager by displaying the properties pane or in an active return by displaying its properties.

Return status

The return status allows you to stay informed about which processing stage a return is currently at, from rolling forward to printing the return.

The return status can be manually or automatically assigned as a result of certain operations. For example, you can set Corporate Taxprep to automatically update the return status after printing the return.
