Document flags

An efficient way to keep track of documents is to mark them with a
Document Flag
. Flagging a client’s uploaded documents in TaxCaddy lets you indicate which documents to include or exclude when uploading documents to a binder.
The
Document Flag
icon will appear on the document tile and the Document Viewer panel. When you are creating a new binder or adding documents to an existing binder, the
Document Flag
icon can be used to indicate which documents you want to incorporate or leave out.
Follow these steps to learn more about the Document Flag feature:
  1. Sign in to TaxCaddy.
  2. On the
    Overview
    screen, select a client tile to view the client profile. You can also search for a client and select the client tile from the result.
