Can you batch print STATE e-file authorizations after performing a client transfer from a PY?

[jjg_mst]

I'd like to know if it's possible to batch print state e-file authorization forms after performing a client transfer from a prior year. This past filing season I had to individually open up each client, Ctrl-G to the state return, and then save and close the return in order for a state e-file auth to generate. With just over 3k clients, this is a very time consuming process. With the ongoing pandemic, our current office operation is to provide e-file auths for clients to sign when they drop off their tax docs.

Is there another way around this, or is there any indication that Proseries 21 will have updated features that'll address this?

Thanks, in advance, for any info you may be able to provide on this!

You mean the 8879 Efile authorization?

You have to open the file for the figures/info to flow to the form before printing it....you wouldn't want to print out blank auth forms, they would be useless.
