Print the T1 JInvoice Instead of CInvoice for Coupled Returns

Updated: 2023-03-24

When we include a built-in template, we have to decide what conditions it uses and which print sets it appears in. However, sometimes these don't match what you need for your practice.

By default, TaxCycle selects the Client Invoice (CInvoice) for print for all clients and displays the Joint Invoice (JInvoice) in the print set when there is a coupled return but does not automatically select it for print. You can easily change this.

Please see the Template Print Conditions help topic for an overview of the options that help with changing these settings.

Default Settings

• Both the JInvoice (joint client invoice) and the CInvoice (client invoice) are part of the default Client copy print set
• In form selection of the print set:
  • CInvoice is set to When used, show in set and select for print
  • JInvoice is set to Show in set when used; do not select for print
• In template properties:
  • CInvoice is set to always be available (relevant), so it appears in the tax return for all taxpayers. It is only marked as used when there is a total owing on the Billing worksheet.
  • JInvoice is set to only be available (relevant) in coupled returns. It is only marked as used for the principal taxpayer of the file when there is an amount owing when combining the totals on the principal taxpayer's and spouse's billing worksheet.
