When you check for (and run) updates for your TaxAct Professional program, any client returns affected will automatically be updated. When the update is complete, you'll be prompted to view the Update Summary Report to review which client returns changed due to the update. The steps below allow you to view that report at a later time.

Note. The Update Summary Report reflects only the most recent update done in the program. You cannot view which client returns were impacted by updates prior to the most recent one.

To view the Update Summary Report for the most recent update:

1. From within your TaxAct^® Professional Edition program, click Preparer in the upper menu bar.
2. Hover your mouse over Print Reports, then click Update Summary.
3. Click Yes to verify you wish to generate the report.

If a client return affected by the update has already been filed, compare a printed copy of the originally-filed return with the newly-updated return and use the printed return as a basis for any amendments.

To view additional information on what is contained in any federal update:

• Navigate to the installation folder on your computer, and open the progupd.txt file. Information regarding the latest federal update is contained in that file.
• Visit our TaxAct Software Updates web page.
