Using the Keyword Library

Keywords are variable blocks of text in correspondence paragraphs that are defined by the system. They change to return or client specific data when the applicable letter is rendered in a tax return.

The Keyword Library contains all system-defined keywords, grouped in the following categories:

  • General Information
  • Form
  • Filing Addresses
  • Amounts
  • Dates
  • Miscellaneous

For each new tax year, the system validates the keywords used in prior correspondence versions are compatible with the current version of the application.
