Do I have to purchase a return in ProConnect to prepare the tax return for my own company?

Thanks for reaching out to us, LM2070.

I understand how important it is to complete your taxes on time. I can give you some information to help you with your tax return.

When you create a return in ProConnect Tax, the filing type is set to e-file by default since it is designed to decrease the time and effort to submit a return. If you wish to paper file your tax return, you may need to purchase one through ProConnect.

Here's how:

1. Sign in to your account.
2. Click on the left side of your screen.
3. Press the order TY2022 returns button.
4. Select the number of Individual and Business returns you expect to file. Your price per return will be displayed here, with lower per-return prices available for larger purchases.
5. When you're satisfied with your selections, press Continue to billing.
6. Enter your credit card information and billing address.
7. Click Review my order to continue.
8. Review your order details and verify all information is correct. When complete, press Place my order.

I'm also adding this resource to guide you if you plan to do your client's taxes through ProConnect Tax Online: Start new tax returns for clients from QuickBooks Online Accountant.
