Freezing dates on letters and invoices in ProSeries

To freeze the date on a single return:

1. Open the tax return.
2. From the Forms Bar select Client Status.
3. If you want to use the e-file date:
   1. Scroll down to If filing electronically, return EFiled.
   2. Check the box for By checking this box, the client billing/invoice and clinet letter dates will use the date EFiled above instead of your system date.
4. If you want to use the date delivered:
   1. Scroll down to Tax return delivered to client.
   2. Check the box for By checking this box, the client billing/invoice and client letter dates will use the date tax return delivered to client above insead of your system date.

To automatically freeze the date:

 If you'd like ProSeries to automatically use the e-file date for all returns:

1. From the Tools menu, select Options.
2. Under General look for Client Status.
3. Check the box for Automatically freeze client letter and invoice dates to E-File Accepted Date.
