Desktop · Written guide Content date 1 min read

In Tax Processors Plus Desktop, if you are going to keypunch an individual tax return for a client who prepared the return themselves for the purposes of e-filing, you will want to mark the return as a self-prepared return.

From the Main Menu of the tax return (Form 1040) select:

  • Heading Information
  • Preparer Code (remove code)

Return to the main form and from the Tax Menu select: 

  • Mark Return Electronic
  • Other E-File Information
  • Preparer also ERO (Change to No) 

Marking the return as Self-Prepared and removing the Preparer code will remove all of the Firm Information and Preparer Information from the business return.
