Basic information

Select binder options

Basic options about how the binder is processed and assigned are available under
Select Binder Options
. For example, the
Select Binder Options
 section lets you select the following:
  • The person responsible for the client (that is,
    Owner
    ).
  • Should access to a client's binder be restricted to a specific group of users only (that is,
    Members
    ).
  • If your firm has multiple office locations, you can select the office location the client is associated with.
  • If your firm prepares returns outside the United States, then you'll need the user's permission, 7216 Consent option.
  • If your firm opted to use
    Leadsheets
     then you can select which leadsheets the binder should have.

7216 consent received?

If your firm prepares returns outside the United States then you will need your client's permission to send their information outside the United States - this permission is called 7216 Consent. You will see an
7216 Consent Received?
 option if your firm-level options require 7216 Consent from the client.
Setting 7216 Consent option as:
  • Yes
     - lets offshore users access and work on the binder.
  • No
     - restricts offshore users from accessing the binder. These users must be assigned to a user group with 7216 access restrictions permission. 
7216 Consent Received?
 option only appears when the firm enables 7216 Consent feature on the domain. .
