Watermark

I want to eliminate the "draft" watermark - the form is fine, and my clients need the returns. Any clue how to do this on the "calc" sheet? There used to be a code to enter...

Until the form is the "official" and finalized IRS form, "DRAFT" will continue to show.

Back in the 'good old days' when ATX was still ATX, you could do that, but now the corporate gods that be protect us from ourselves, and took out that ability. HOWEVER, what you could do is go to irs.gov and download the pdf form, fill it out and print it and add it to the forms the program will let you print. Since it's a paper return, no one will even know you did that.

Thanks. That was what I was expecting, but it is nice to get it confirmed. Too bad the old ATX days don't exist any more - back then the people on the phone actually knew what they were talking about.

The "Draft" watermark does not prevent e-filing.

If the form is required to be marked with an ID tracing it back to the creating vendor, not including a "draft" message, when the form is a draft layout, can cause issues for the vendor.
