Throughout the tax season, and especially during the initial weeks before the official opening of 1040 e-File by the IRS, it is extremely important to transmit daily to check for software updates and maintain your desktop software program at the latest version as you begin preparing tax returns for your clients. Often, these software updates can contain important form changes resulting from recent tax legislation.
Helpful Resources:
Updating the 1040 Federal & State Tax Programs
- In this short 4 minute video, we will show you how easy it is to verify the program version and retrieve and apply software updates for both the Federal and State tax programs, including steps for installing software updates on non-transmitting computers.
Be sure to check out our other helpful videos, recorded webinars, tutorials and Here’s How to Guides on the uTax Resource Center.
Most partners can access the Resource Center directly from the software program > Work in Progress Screen > Website Tab > or you can simply bookmark this address https://resourcecenter.utaxsoftware.com on your desktop.

An important reminder to our Service Bureau Partners! If you elected to have uTax support your sub-sites during the annual enrollment process at EMP, last season we added a Resource Center for their use, accessible via EMP > Resources > Resource Center (on the left pane menu) or directly at http://resourcecenter.erosupport.com. This Resource Center contains most of the same helpful information and software training tools available on our uTax Resource Center, only unbranded to protect the relationship you have with your sites.
If you have any questions about this information, please contact the uTax Partner Support Team at 206-209-2653 or email us at support@utaxsoftware.com.
