Items to Print

Prerequisites

You should be familiar with or have completed the Setup exercise in this section.

Objective

In this exercise, you will print the options available at the Items to Print tab in the Options and learn how to adjust them as necessary.

Facts

Access the Items to Print tab in the Options and print your current settings for each of the sections. View the Program Considerations, compare the function of each option to your current settings, and make any desired changes to your current configuration.

Program Considerations

Items to Print is divided into five sections:

 

Each copy contains the same set of items to include, but by default, each of the copies is set up to include or exclude items based on the purpose of the copy. For example, the checkbox for the Client Invoice is not checked for the Government Filing Copy .

The Items to Print selections are divided into categories and items. Checked items within a category will print with that category, and checked categories will print when the selected return copy is printed. The order in which the categories and items are listed controls the print order for each return copy.

  1. On the Settings menu, click Options.

  2. Click the Items to Print tab.
  3. Print your current settings for the Preparer Review Copy by clicking Print at the bottom of the Options window.
