Settings: Saved Messages

The Saved Messages section allows you to create, preview, and change saved message templates that you can apply while processing a return. Saved message sections: 

• 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). 

Note:

System Admins are the only users who can access the Settings menu.
