The next time a taxpayer needs a copy of his or her return, instead of mailing a paper copy, try e-mailing a PDF file. With PDF files, you save time and money by mailing taxpayers fewer paper documents.
PDF stands for "portable document format." When you print a tax return to PDF, you make it "portable," which means it is easy to transmit through email and the document will look the same as the printed document. In addition to making documents portable, PDF files look and print the same on virtually any computer.
To print a tax return as a PDF document in CrossLink, follow these steps:
1. From within a tax return, click the Print menu and then click Final Tax Return.
2. Click PDF.
3. In the .pdf file, click .
In the Save As Copy dialog, browse to the folder where you want to save the .pdf file and then click Save.
