Customize your templates

You can save time with organizer templates you can reuse for all your clients.

  1. Select Intuit Link on the left side of your screen.
  2. Click on Settings at the top right corner.

    • If you used the PDF checklist before it was a part of Intuit Link, we saved a copy of your old checklist here for reference.

Create a PDF organizer for your client

  1. On your Tax Returns list, click the down arrow next to View return.
  2. Select Collect data - PDF to open the organizer panel for this client.
  3. Choose the Organizer template you want to send.
  4. Use the checkboxes to select which items to include in the organizer.
  5. Click Edit on the Document checklist to customize it based on an existing return.
  6. To save the organizer as a PDF, click the Export or print PDF button.

Once you save the PDF, click Continue to send the organizer through Intuit Link, or Cancel. If you don’t send the organizer to your client through Intuit Link, it won’t be saved in ProConnect —just the PDF you download or print.

Where’s the PDF checklist I used for tax year 2019?

If you used the PDF checklist last year, you’re probably wondering what’s changed and if you can still do everything you could before.

If you used the PDF checklist before it was part of Intuit Link, we saved a copy of it for your reference. See the "Customize your templates" section above for details.
