TaxSlayer Pro 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 TaxSlayer Pro, 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.)
