In TaxSlayer Pro, the Master Report is a combination of several different reports that can be created to assist you in tracking your business and managing your office. If you're preparing tax returns on more than one PC in a networked office, this report can only be accessed from the PC that functions as the file server.
To access the Master Report, from the Quick Menu of TaxSlayer Pro select:
- Reports
- Master Report
Seven report options are available:
- Year to Date Totals Report: A report listing every return that has been marked complete since the beginning of the year.
- Daily Written Report: A report that lists every return that has been marked complete for a specific day or date range.
- Daily Collected Report: Displays all client payments for a specific day or date range.
- Inventory Report: A list of all returns marked complete that have not been paid in full.
- Preparer Totals Report: A report listing completed returns by a preparer or preparers.
