    Additional information

    Check all returns

    The New Hampshire 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.

    Bar codes on printed state returns

    Some states use bar codes 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 bar code 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 New Hampshire taxing authority may attempt to scan the form and reject it.
