Continuing with an Existing Return

When you first open the H&R Block tax software, the program displays the My Taxes screen under the Welcome tab. The My Taxes screen displays a list of your existing tax return files. This list box contains the following information about each file:

• Name of the tax return file

• Date the file was last modified

• Type of return (Extension, Federal, or State)

• Last Known Status of the return (Not filed, Printed for filing, E-filed - Pending, E-filed - Rejected, E-filed - Accepted)

To continue working with an existing tax return:

• In the Continue with your Saved 2010 Return list box, click the Open return link listed next to the return file. The program opens to the last topic in the Interview that you were working on for the tax return file you selected.

To check the status of an e-filed tax return:

• In the Continue with a Saved 2010 Return list box, click the Check status link listed next to the return file. The program displays the Status for the return you selected. Note: This link only displays if you have e-filed the return.

To open an existing return using the Recent File list:

• Click on the File menu and select the return name listed in at the bottom of the menu.

 Keep in mind that the program does not list any return files in the recent files list until you actually save and close an untitled tax return file.
