This is always a good time of the tax season where the need of an amended return tends to come into play. Taxpayers received a late form they weren’t expecting or had forgotten about (W-2, 1099, etc.) and they now need to prepare and file an amended return. For this reason, we wanted to share the 2018 Amended Return User Guide as a refresher for volunteers. Please click here to download the user guide on how to prepare an amended tax return using TaxSlayer Pro Online.

4/4/2019 – The fix was deployed this morning.

4/3/2019 – Issue 3389 was not deployed this morning as the scheduled deployment was postponed until Thursday, 4/4.

Late last week, Issue 3389 was opened to look into sporadic reports of returns not being able to generate a PDF. Further investigation found that returns with CA added as the state were experiencing sporadic issues generating a PDF from the Summary/Print menu and other print areas inside and outside of the return. The underlying issue causing the print issue specific to CA returns was related to CA returns that reported certain adjustments to CA income. The underlying issue has been resolved by development and the fix will be pushed live with our next deployment (scheduled for Wednesday, April 3rd).

10:06am ET – All deployments have been released and access to 2017 returns for those that had issues should be resolved at this time.

10:00am ET – Deployments for 2017 are still going out, however, you will gradually see the issue resolved as the deployments continue.

9:36am ET – Deployments for 2017 are currently going out at this time.

9:00am ET – Our engineers are actively investigating the root cause at this time.

8:45am ET – We have received reports of users receiving “Program Has Received Unexpected Error” message when attempting to open a 2017 return from the Client List. We are actively looking into this issue.
