Updating Tax Office and Bank Information Last Updated October 13, 2010

Tax office and bank account information can be maintained from within TaxLedge.  Each tax office can be linked to more than one bank account for depositing money in (remittances) and to write checks from in the case of refunds.

The TL_ADMIN job, View Maintenance and Change Maintenance Information tasks, and GLTAX_OFFICE_ADMIN and GLTAX_OFFICE_BANK entitlements should be considered for users needing to use these screens.
