Transmittal recognition overview

Transmittal recognition generates vouchers from items listed in the transmittal letters when no other voucher was included in the return. This article outlines the firm and client experience with transmittal recognition.
note
  • Vouchers included in the return are recognized first.
  • Vouchers generated from the CCH Axcess™ Debit Report are recognized second.
  • If no printed voucher or CCH Axcess™ Debit Report voucher is recognized, a voucher is generated from the transmittal letter.
  • Only voucher amounts in the transmittals are recognized.
    • Overpayment, applied amounts, and penalties are not recognized from transmittals.
