Working With Multiple Copies of Forms

If the IRS or state allows you to file multiple copies of a form, the H&R Block software program lets you create them.

For example, if you receive more than one Form W-2, you will need to file a separate Form W-2 with your tax return for each employer that gives you one. You can create as many copies as you need.

Using the Interview

When you are completing a topic in the Interview that pertains to a form with multiple copies, the H&R Block software automatically displays a copy list box which lists all of the copies by number and name. For example, 1st (First National Bank), 2nd (Bank of America).

To work on a copy:

• Click the Edit link next to the form you want to edit.

To create another copy of a form:

• Click the Add (Form name), Type (Form name), or Import (Form name) button located above the copy list box

To delete a copy of the current form:

• Click the Delete link next to the form you want to delete.

Using Forms Central

When you create multiple copies of forms from within Forms Central, the copies of the forms are numbered sequentially (for example, Copy 1, Copy 2, etc.).

To create a new copy:

1. Open the form you want in Forms Central.

2. Click the (+) New Copy button above the form. If you don't see the New Copy button, you cannot make another copy of the form.

To move between copies:

• Select the appropriate copy from the Copy Number list box. The copy is displayed in the Forms Central window.

To delete a copy:

1. Display the copy of the form you want in the Forms Central window.

2. Click Delete Form on the toolbar.

3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

To print a copy:

1. Display the copy of the form you want in the Interview or Forms Central window.

2. Click Print on the toolbar, and select one of the following:

• Print for filing - to print the current form without mini-worksheets.

• Print as shown - to print the current form exactly as shown and its associated mini-worksheets.

3. Click OK.
