Within TaxSlayer ProWeb, each completed tax return can be transmitted from within the e-FIle section of the return, or batches of returns can be transmitted from the transmission table in the Transmissions Menu. Tax returns that have been marked complete will display on the main transmission table until they have been sent to the IRS.
To access the transmission table from within ProWeb, from the Welcome menu, select:
-
Transmissions - A table containing all tax returns that have been marked complete, but have not yet been transmitted to the IRS will be displayed. This table includes the following information:
- The Taxpayer's SSN, first and last name , and phone number
- The name of the preparer who created (or who has been re-assigned) to the return
- Any return tags associated with the return and the return status
- The federal and state return type, state abbreviation, and refund/amount due for both
The TaxSlayer Pro Transmission Table lists returns that have been marked for electronic filing and marked complete. If you do not see a return in the table that you expect to see there, verify that both of these aspects about the return are true.
Add Returns - Click this button to add a return to the transmission table. This may be needed if, for example, the IRS rejected a return and once corrected needs to be resubmitted. Select the Add button and then enter the taxpayer's SSN. If you can't find the return you wish to add, it has not been marked for electronic filing and/or it has not been marked complete.
Check All/Uncheck All - Use these buttons to mark or unmark all returns contained in the transmission table as ready to electronically file.
Delete Selected/Delete All - Select these buttons to remove one or more returns from the transmission table. This may be needed if, for example, you prematurely marked a return complete, or you learn that a return needs to be changed. Removing a return from the Transmission Table prevents it from being e-filed. The return can be added back to the table later if necessary.
Back - To exit the transmission table without transmitting any returns, press the Back button.
Transmit Selected Returns to IRS - When the transmission table is correct and you are ready to transmit the returns marked to electronically file, select the Transmit Selected Returns to IRS button.
