Create new T1, T2, T3 and FX returns in Pro Tax

by Intuit•5• Updated 1 year ago

A feature has been added where users can now add a new client more simply and quickly. This new experience will provide Pro Tax users with applicable fields from the QuickBooks Online Accountant experience where our client list sits.

Users can fill in information to complete the QuickBooks Online Accountant client profile, or use the client name to create the client and start preparing their return.

With the introduction of this new experience, only first and last names are mandatory fields, saving the user time if they do not wish to fill out those fields or if the taxpayer does not have an email address, for example.

Managing permissions

This feature is available only to users who have been granted permission through their user profile by the account administrator.

The account administrator can review the level access they wish to grant by navigating to the Team tab in the left navigation pane, selecting the user, and then changing their permissions.

Users can have any level of permissions and are able to add new returns if the Customers and accounts receivable, under Your Firm Books, is set to Yes:
