Step 1 - Pre-Verification

When using 1040SCAN, the OCR may be uncertain of the source document it's been provided. Despite trying its best to accurately capture the data displayed in the document, we still want to ensure that all data collected from the source document is entirely accurate. When this happens, any potentially inaccurate scan that the OCR has captured will be displayed in the Review Wizard for you to verify.
This uncertain data can be from 1099 Brokerage Statements, Grantor Letters, Schedule K-1s, 1095-C. In the pre-verification step, you can verify uncertain identifier fields associated with the payer's names, account numbers, statement dates, and names of such brokerage statements.
