Notes:

  • If a custom return status has been assigned to a client's tax return, you’ll see an Attention message showing how many returns use that status. To avoid mistakes, we recommend backing up before making batch changes or deletions.

  • To reassign the batch to another status, click Yes, enter the new return status name, then click OK.

Tip: To delete any unused custom status, click Select unused and then click Deleted selected.
