Hi – Thank you. Certainly I am well aware that I can simple attach a PDF to an email and send it without password protection. However, this password protected email of the return has been available on Pro Series for years. Many of my clients want their sensitive date password protected in an email. I want to use what is in the program available to all – it’s a valuable time savings tool rather than uploading to a portal and having them download it etc….and it’s included in the price of ProSeries. We should all be more careful with emailing sensitive data. BTW – it’s not necessary to use Outlook to use the ProSeries password protected tax return email option.
