Tax returns

# Prepare tax returns without rebuilding the numbers.

Prepare the return from approved reconciliations, check each figure against the ledger, and complete the internal review and sign-off process.

Return workspace

## See what is due, review the figures, and keep the review and approval history.

Start with the filing due date and the reconciliations that cover it. Review the return, fix any mapping gaps, add supported adjustments, and send the finished return for approval. The review and approval history stays on the same page.

### Know what is due

See the filing period, due date, covered reconciliations, and anything that must be fixed before review.

### Check every figure

Open the transactions behind a return figure and record an adjustment without losing the original calculation.

### Prepare for filing

Complete the approved return and keep the supporting figures, adjustments and review history together.

Review and sign-off

## Sign-off and supporting evidence stay with the return.

Approve

### Separate preparation from sign-off

The history shows who prepared the return, who approved it, and when the figures were locked.

Trace

### Open the source behind a completed figure

Follow a return figure back through the reconciliation to the posted transactions that produced it.

After sign-off

## A completed return you can trace back to the ledger.

The complete return in one place

Figures, source transactions, adjustments, and review and approval history all belong to the same return.

See what is due and what was paid

Check open obligations, liabilities, payments, and earlier returns from the authority account.

Correct the next period

The completed return stays locked. Later corrections keep a link back to the return they fix.
