What it does
TaxSlayer Pro provides desktop and cloud tax-preparation options for US practices, with package-specific mobile intake, portal and signature tools. Paid software covers unlimited individual returns, with corporate preparation included in the desktop Premium package. A free Pro Web demonstration lets a preparer explore the software without submitting returns.
TaxSlayer Pro is designed for preparers filing clients' US returns. Its range includes desktop and cloud options, with individual federal, state and local return preparation. TaxesToGo lets clients send photographs and tax information to the preparer. Package selection determines which collection and signature tools accompany the return-preparation work.

Create the customer account, choose the software and configure Account Hub.
Reuse a set of forms in Pro Web
Open Configuration > Taxpayer Profiles > + ADD TAXPAYER PROFILE. Name the profile, select the current tax year, add the forms and arrange their order before saving. A profile can represent a recurring type of client work.
Choose that profile when starting a new return under Start New Tax Return. It determines which entry pages appear. A profile cannot be added after the return has already been created.
On the Submission page, Mark tax return as complete makes the return eligible for transmission. Leave it unchecked while preparation is unfinished. Returning a completed return to In Progress requires both the appropriate user permission and an invoice that has not been marked paid.
