Printing Organizers

The Organizer window allows you to print an OrganizerClosed that is related to the prior year Individual or Fiduciary return data to any print destination.

Printing Organizers is accessible from a prior year return only and is available when the current year Organizer applications are released in November. Organizers can be reprinted as needed.

To print Organizers, do the following:

  1. From an open prior year Individual or Fiduciary return, select Print > Print <tax year> Organizer from the Application menu. If changes have occurred since the last calculation, the system prompts you to calculate the return before proceeding, or to continue the print process without calculating.

You can enter other text, but it will not be saved in the watermarks list. The watermark you select or enter applies to all selected print items.

  6. If you are creating a PDF or TIFF file (with or without printing to a printer), do one of the following:

    • Enter a file path, or click Browse to select the file location, and then enter the file name.
