carolynm Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I like to display only incomplete returns. Everytime I load ATX it shows me them all, and then I have to click the incomplete box again. I've tried to change the setting in options "return to default" - I've tried with it checked and unchecked but everytime I open the software -all the returns are displayed. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, and this isn't a big deal but it is driving me crazy! carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to if you had marked it complete it would not let you change anything without going out and makred incomplete. Now I go in and change and when i out its still says complete.

Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm with you! It makes me a little crazier than I already am. I do hope someone knows that answer and will share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaEA Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Under the options tab, I clicked on preferences, then on all managers, then checked the box marked "hide returns marked complete....". It worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 And that's why you get the big bucks! Thanks, MontanaEA! I love learning all these neat tricks. Maybe someday I'll find something that someone else has been looking for and be the one to ride to the rescue - or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcjenkins Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 To have your settings stay as you left them, you want the 'Return to default' to be UNCHECKED. Also, on the Preferences, the first tab, you can set it to show only the 'Incomplete' returns as your default, although you can at any time change that with one click, but when you open up, it stays checked until you uncheck it. Just check the third box. I like this one because it shows me the ones I'm working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I'd like to have at least one more level to check off in the opening view. One level would be "Show All". The next level would be "Show Incomplete". The third level would be "Show Active". This set of choices would enable you to hide the returns which have an extension completed & mailed and display only those which still need attention in the "Active" screen. Ultra Tax gave you multiple options of this type which were user-controleld and I used it regularly to manipulate about 6 types of classsification. It helps to keep the "Active" screen truly accurate. I intend to send in a suggestion about this at the end of tax season, along with a suggestion that they create a lookup table for non-cash contribution entities similar to the "Payer Manager". This would greatly streamline the prep of the 8283. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Good hint, KC. I had to search a little to find the Return to Default box to uncheck it as it wasn't in the first tab. But I did find it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
