Per-Return Pricing (PRP) codes are part of the payment process for Per-Return Pricing. If you want to learn more about the licensing and billing for Per-Return Pricing, visit Per-Return Pricing licenses and billing.

Per Return Pricing is a licensing option for UltraTax CS. With a PRP License, you pay a fee for each return you prepare that is not covered by an unlimited license.

PRP codes are used to track your PRP account transactions and tie each transaction to the client you're paying for.

PRP returns

You might need a PRP code in order to file a return. Here's the process:

  1. Enter a TIN in UltraTax CS for the client. 
  2. For state returns, add the state to the client.
  3. Download a PRP code. You need to do this before you ever preview, print, or file the return.
  4. The code appears in File > Client Properties, in the PRP code field. There is a PRP code field on each Federal and state tab.

If you need a refund for a PRP, fill out the PRP refund request form.

PRP preparer blocks

If you want the preparer block on a return to be different from the typical firm information, use a PRP preparer block.

  1. Add a PRP preparer block for the firm.
  2. Add the PRP preparer block to the client.
  3. Download a PRP code.
