ERO Name should be “AARP Foundation Tax-Aide” EIN box and Self-Employed check box are for commercial only ERO address should be site address ERO phone is probably contact phone from order. Change to site phone if desired Phone number will print on return Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

29 Miscellaneous Item Configuration
Following can be configured at site or at MSA Security Templates Custom Question Templates Taxpayer Profiles Return Tags Print Set Templates Custom Credits Consent Forms Will discuss as part of MSA configuration Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

Clear check on Active box in Preparer Setup Menu Will need to review existing preparers due to TaxSlayer changes in logon (MFA) Only need full setup for new preparers May want to delay until after MSA complete Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

31 Create User Preparer(s) Setup Menu Do not use preparer’s full name
Problem last year with name printing on return Recommend using first name and last initial Do not change default PIN Leave 2848 CAF number blank – commercial use Use “Pull from office” for PTIN OR SIDN Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

More discussion in Multi-factor Authentication Cell phone number – do not use landline User name Password Use same password for everyone User will change on first login Leave “Active” checked Security template More discussion in Multi-Site Admin Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

34 User Names Must be unique across all of TaxSlayer Pro Online
User names from 2016 carry forward to 2017 AARP document “TaxSlayer User Name Guide” has recommendations Other recommendations First name + first initial last name + site ID First initial first name + last name + site ID First name “.” last name + site ID Site ID Some part of SIDN Initials of site name Example Johnjfsc Add incrementing digit if necessary Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

Cannot contain login ID Cannot be previous password Passwords are case sensitive Must be changed every 90 days Can be used at multiple sites Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

36 Miscellaneous Notes about Users
If the user is being set up specifically for an Ad-Hoc or Special Event site, do NOT check the Pull from Office, instead change the SIDN value for the user to the SIDN of the Ad-hoc site. Districts will have to make their own decision about restricting counselors to use of the Guide Me feature. New counselors should probably be restricted until they have gained a reasonable level of experience. Experienced counselors should not be restricted. When a counselor uses the same address and cell phone at multiple sites, additional configuration is required.  The default security template for the Site Administrator is to not assign a template. A preparer with no security template by default has ALL privileges. TaxSlayer recently added the capability to change a return marked as “Complete” back to “In Progress”. Unfortunately they used a negative implementation in the Security Template. Site Admin might need a custom template Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

37 Multi-site Admin Group Administrator
TaxSlayer documentation often refers to Multi-Office Administration Permits sharing of Customized security templates Customized questions Return tags Customized print sets Custom Credits Consent Forms Optional Taxpayer profile Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

43 Who Gets to do What Easiest is to assign all to everyone
Bad idea TaxSlayer provides seven pre-defined templates Administrator (assign to single user) SuperUser Preparer Current Year Preparer All Years Setup Manager Interviewer Reviewer NTTC does not recommend use of any of these Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

44 CA2 Recommendation CA2 recommends three custom templates
Site manager Experienced Preparer New Preparer By default individual who created site is Site Administrator with full (?) privilages Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

45 Site Manager Access Current Year Client List

50 New Preparer Restricted Capabilities Can do current year only
Can not change returns status Can not do peer review Can not send return to IRS Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

51 Changing Return Status
“Cannot Change Return Status Back to In Progress” works with “Deactivate Return”. Only returns with status of “In Progress” or “Review Failed” can be deactivated. Ability should be restricted to those with Admin level privileges. Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

52 Peer Review Capability
“Review Returns and Mark Review Decision” belongs to individuals who will act as QR. Its use depends on the QR procedure used by a site: If the site is set up so that the client goes to the reviewer, then the reviewer should have Site Manager Privileges and preparers do not need this privilege. If the reviewer comes to the client and they log on with their own ID then only Site Managers and Experienced Preparers need this privilege. This is based on the assumption that new preparers do not do QR. If the reviewer does the review using the preparer’s ID, then everyone needs this privilege. Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017

53 Send Return to IRS CA2 recommends that the “Send Return to IRS” privilege be assigned only to the site’s ERO and other Admin level personnel. It is not for reviewers or counselors If a District does allow experienced preparers to submit e-files, it should be blocked initially for new preparers. When using a designated ERO, the designated individual should have either the “Site Manager” or “Superuser” security template assigned. Tax-Aide Policies and Procedures – TY2017
