Print returns, workpapers and tax provisions

Modified on Fri, 23 Jan at 11:12 AM

Overview

There are a range of workpapers and tax provisions that can be printed to PDF to export from the system. The reports range from a simple e-file transcript all the way to comprehensive detailed tax calculations. There are also options to print workpaper packs for audit purposes, and copies of notes and calculations of tax provisions. All outputs are available by using the print icon in the navigation bar.

Print options and settings

Most reports can be printed at a selected date. If no date is chosen, the report prints at the year-end date. You can also select a Theme and Office for styling if your TaxLab organisation has branded themes set up

Inland Revenue reports

EFile transcript

The EFile transcript is a summary of the income tax return details filed with Inland Revenue (IR). Fields sent to IR display “EFILE” in the output.

You can:

  • Print the transcript to PDF or Microsoft Word
  • Print the field dictionary (prints a definition of what each field in the report means and how it is used)
  • Print a cover and back page on the report (these need to be customised to your organisation at initial setup).
  • Print a contents page (added as part of initial setup if custom reports are required for your organisation).
  • Print the IRD number on the report (selected by default)

The IR10

The IR10 can be printed to PDF as a paper form, in the styling of the IR paper forms.
