Additional Information
Check all returns after printing
The Missouri Department of Revenue scans computer-generated forms to quickly
process the income tax returns it receives. 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.
About barcodes on printed state returns
Some states use barcodes on computer-printed tax forms. This special formatting
allows the state taxing authorities to process returns more quickly and
efficiently. On-screen, you'll see only a small representation of the bar code
on the lower-left side of the form. This image is static and does not change
based on the information in the return. However, when you print the return, the
bar code appears as a large rectangular box on the first page of the form. The
width of the bar code is constant; the height varies according to the data in
the return. In general, the more complex the return, the larger the printed bar
code.
Returns that contain special formatting may be processed at a different location than
manually-prepared returns. Therefore, the filing instructions that print with
the state return may contain a mailing address that's different from the
mailing address in the package that is sent to taxpayers. Be sure to have your
clients mail their returns to the address in the filing instructions that print
with the return.
Important: Because the barcode image is a function of the data in
the tax return, it's important that you reprint the page with the bar code if
changes are made to any part of the return. Also, do not print blank copies of
the main form and prepare them manually. The Missouri taxing authority may attempt to
scan the form and reject it.
