    Instructions on downloading and installing PPTUPD8_2.exe

    Date: January 19, 2006

    Program: PPT Tax Express 2006

    Subject: Update Disk Version 8.2


    Dear TaxTime USA, Inc. Customer,

    This update fixes the following problems related to the 2006 PPT Express:

    • The 2006 Cable Television and Utility Personal Property Report (Form 3589) – proforma files from 2005 – page 1 and 2 may be printing on second pages resulting in 4 pages when there should only be 2 pages to that form. Assets may not be coming across also. This update will fix the printing and proforma problem.

    • Batch Print feature – if Print Title option is marked in configuration and Batch Print is being used to print any returns the Company Name of the first return in your client list prints at top left of all pages. This update fixes this so the correct Company Name prints on all pages.

    • Proforma from 2005 of any default Instruction Letters other than the Instruction Letter named “Default” does not proforma unless you saved a new letter last year and imported it from the Proforma screen. All prior year files proforma as the “Default” Instruction Letter. This update allows for proforma of whatever Instruction Letter was used last year.

    • Fixes a label print problem when printing the assessor address labels with zip + 4. Currently it prints an extra - in the zip code and does not print the last digit of the + 4 part of the zip code.
