Do you want to use the month end as the due date?

Yes, I want to use the month end as the due date. Continue to the next step.
No, I want to use a different date as the due date. Click Advanced Options to change variable the system is using to set the due date. If you would like to select a different day, because the due date falls on a weekend for example, select the Calendar Date option. Then, you can click the Calendar button to choose a different date.

Include payments through

When a customer makes a payment before the payment due date, the payment is on time. The customer account is in good standing.

On the other hand, when a customer does not make a payment before the number of delinquent periods has elapsed, the customer account is a delinquent.

When a customer with a delinquent account makes a payment before the date in the Include Payments Through field, the customer will not be included on the report.

Do you want to exclude customers that have made a payment on a delinquent account by the given date?

Yes, exclude customers that have made payments. Click to select the Include Payments Through field. Use the Include Payments Through field to enter a MM/DD/YYYY.
No, do not exclude customers that have made payments. Click to deselect the Include Payments Through field.

Tax return types

A tax return is a form for calculating tax liability. A tax return type defines the accounting behavior for the related tax return.
