Reset DRL
Document Request List (DRL) is based on your clients' proforma data from last year's tax return. To fetch the DRL data from your tax software, you need to create a custom DRL then send the DRL to the client. Resetting DRL lets you restart the process of creating a custom DRL by deleting the current DRL along with any changes that were made using
Edit DRL
.Reset DRL
can also cancel DRLs that are currently in a queue or being processed. Reset DRL
is also useful to recall DRLs sent to the client's profile. This can be useful in situations where you erroneously entered an incorrect Tax Client ID or didn't roll forward the return to the current tax year in your tax software. Reset DRL
will recall any DRLs that were sent to the client's profile.note
If a client has already fulfilled an item from their DRL, resetting their DRL won’t delete these previously provided items from the corresponding categories of the
Uploaded Documents
section in their account.After their DRL has been recreated, you or your taxpayer can mark the necessary upload requests as
Already Provided
