Check all returns
The New York Department of Revenue scans computer-generated forms to quickly
process the income tax returns they receive. To meet the requirements for producing
computer-generated forms, ProSeries is required to limit the width of the tax
information printed on forms that are scanned. In certain cases, data you entered may
be truncated. After completing a tax return, review the information that prints (for
example, mailing address information), make any necessary changes, and reprint the
return before mailing it.
