  • The details of the return.

Letter Content

The content of any letter template selected is the default content shipped with the Drake Tax program, unless, you edit the letter or update it from an edited version from prior year. If you update the letter, the Result letter is brought forward from the prior year software (which could be the letter that shipped with Drake Tax software, an edited letter, or a letter updated from a previous year).

Return Details

The same letter template produces a customized letter for each return, so the appearance of the letter will vary between returns. The result letter in a particular return includes or excludes data and paragraphs depending on the return.
