Tax Cells
Tax cells are cells that come from the forms and that are used for the following purposes when creating a letter template:
- as comparison values in conditions defining the sections of the letter that must print in the letter based on the tax situation of the client (for example total assets must be more than $100,000 to print a certain paragraph) To print data from the return (for example, to print the amount of the balance owing or the refund);
- as values in the paragraphs for purposes of printing data in the return (for example, printing the balance due or refund amount).
The tax cells in a letter template are represented by their description, which appears in blue and between square brackets [ ]. Example:
