Select the form type from the drop-down list. The retrieval and filtering fields available depend on which form type you have selected. Every time you update a retrieval field, you will need to click the Refresh button to update the list of clients and forms.

You can filter the forms in this screen by making selections from the filtering fields. You can filter by client, filing method, jurisdiction, filed by, or employer type, making it possible to display only the clients and forms that you want to print. Refer to the Filtering data in the Process Payroll Tax Forms screen topic for more detailed information about the filtering fields.

When you click the Refresh button, the form grid displays a list of the forms you have specified with your retrieval and filtering options. You will need to click the Refresh button again if you change your selection in any of the retrieval fields to allow the grid to update. The grid will automatically update any changes you make in the Filter options section.
