Setting the Print Date on Federal and State Individual Returns

Desktop · Written guide Content date 1 min read

Tax Processors Plus Desktop gives you the ability to set the paid preparer print date on the federal return as well as many state tax returns and state e-file signature authorization forms.

To set the state's paid preparer print date in the individual tax return in Tax Processors Plus Desktop, from the Main Menu of the return select:

  • Personal Information
  • Other Categories
  • Print Date - Enter the date to be printed on state forms.

Support for this feature in each state is indicated in the table below. If a form isn't listed, it either doesn't have a paid preparer date field or doesn't have the ability to set the paid preparer print date. (A grayed out box in the E-File Auth column indicates the state does not have an e-file signature authorization form.)
