Report Preview

Report Preview consists of three tabs:

Check Calculation and Return

The Check Calculation and Return tab provides the following information:

  • A comprehensive calculation of your client’s tax liability for the year.
  • A tax summary, including details of any payments of account.
  • A summary of the entries made in each of the pages in Return Data.
