Article #: 10379
Last Updated: October 18, 2024
The EF Return Selector displays print files, which are created or recreated whenever you calculate a return. To delete print files, go to Tools > File Maintenance > Delete Print Files. Select the files you want to remove and click Delete. This deletes only the print file, not the return.
Note You can set an option to remove print files after e-filing, or after a set number of days following e-filing by going to Setup > Options > Calculation & View/Print tab, Number of days to store print files drop list). Drake Software recommends the options of removing print files after EF, or removing them after a maximum of 2 days.
Caution This process will also delete any print files for returns that show as "expired" under the EF > Select Returns for EF menu. To get a return to show back up in the return selector, open the return and re-calculate making sure to review the return for accuracy prior to e-filing.
