New Jersey - Print Name in Paid Preparers Signature Box
1

To print your name in the Paid Preparer's signature box:

  1. From within your TaxAct Professional Edition program, click Preparer in the upper menu bar.
  2. Hover your mouse over Master Information, then click General.
  3. Under Filing/Printing Options, click the box next to Print the preparer's name in the Preparer's Signature Field.

Some states allow the software to transfer the printing of the Preparer's name in the Paid Preparer's signature box of the state return and other states do not. Our understanding is, at this time, that the New Jersey instructions still state that the Preparer must sign the return and so do not allow the signature to be transferred on those returns.
