Print

The Print feature in ATX lets you be in control of printing your clients’ returns.

  • Set global print options. Select a default printer, paper size, print orientation (Portrait or Landscape).
  • Set print specs for a particular copy type (Filing, Client, Preparer, Custom) on the Print Return Dialog Box. These selections are made per return.
  • Print Packets. To set print specs per copy type to be applied to every return printed, use the Print Packets feature. If desired, these specs can still be changed per return in the Print Return Dialog Box.
  • Preview what you're printing. Preview the pages you selected in the open return.
  • Print the entire return, or just a selection. Print all forms, schedules, and worksheets associated with a return, or only the ones you select.
  • Print to paper or to electronic file. Print to a traditional printer or to PDF or XPS outputs (if these printers are set up on your computer).
  • Print Reports. Print a list of errors, overrides and estimates associated with the open return.

Print Preferences

Print Preferences offer several settings that enable you to fine tune your control over what is printed and how it is printed.

Default Print Orders

All federal forms appear in the print list in the order defined by the IRS—the pages that you need for filing are automatically selected. To print other pages, select them from the Print Return Dialog Box. If desired, the print order may be changed via the Editing Print Packets feature.
