Setting up and running the report

The report has two menus, one for selecting the report filters and the other for selecting the EFIN(s) to be reported on. Upon arrival at the report window the Filter Selection menu will already be open. Each menu is opened by clicking it.

Filter Selection

Tax Year - The current tax year is selected by default but change to a prior year if needed.

Start Date and End Date - Set the transmission date range.

EFIN Selection

Select the EFIN(s) you'd like reported on.

When you've finished with the selections, click one of the two "Run Report" buttons:

Run Report

Click this to display the report on-screen, after which you can optionally (a) refine the data to be included in the report, (b) export the report, and (c) save the report template to make it easy to run again in the future.

Run Report For Export

This button functions the same as the "Run Report" button but for large offices allows for all data for all EFINs to be exported. If you clicked "Run Report" but the report output was abbreviated due to the volume of the data, rerun the report clicking this button instead.

If no returns are found, click the orange "Go Back" button to return to the Filter and EFIN Selection menus. It's possible you need to change or broaden one or more of the parameters you specified, or it's possible that all electronically filed individual tax returns have been acknowledged.

Each time you arrive at the Filter and EFIN Selection menus, all the selections you previously made will have reset to their initial default values, so you'll need to reselect the ones you want for the report.
