Settings: Saved Messages

  • Saved Messages: The message appears after the taxpayer authenticates and clicks to begin. 
  • Attachment Instructions: This message appears in the Review > Attachments section on the taxpayer side (if attachments are included with the return).
  • Paper File Instructions: This message appears before the taxpayer views their paper file return (if paper file returns are included with the return).
