Create a Print Set of Documents for E-Signature

If you wish, you can create a print set of all the documents requiring an electronic signature:

  1. To open Options from the Start screen, click Options on the left side. If you have a file open, go to the File menu, then click Options.
  2. On the left side of the dialog box, expand the T1/TP1 section (or a section for another tax module).
  3. Expand Print and click on 2025 (or later).
  4. Create a new, empty print set by scrolling to the bottom of the list of print sets and double-clicking on New print set 1.
    Screen Capture: New print set
  5. Type a name for the print set.
    Screen Capture: Rename print set
  6. To show the print set higher up in the list in the Print sidebar, drag it up to the top of the list.
  7. Click the edit link at the top right to configure the print/output options:

  8. TaxCycle opens the Print Configuration dialog box. 
    1. From the Printer/Output menu, select PDF.
    2. From the Email menu, select TaxFolder, Gmail®, Microsoft 356® (Outlook), Docusign®, or your desktop email app. 
    3. From the Message menu, select E-Signature Cover Email.
    4. From the File Name menu, select variables and enter text to automatically set the file name.
    5. From the SIN/BN menu, select Mask first five digits for security to obscure social insurance numbers and business numbers from the forms. (We strongly recommend using this option when sending documents for signatures.)
    6. Set any other PDF options as required. See Printer and PDF Output Options for details.
    7. Click Close.

  11. To add a document to the print set, search for the form by name. See Forms and Templates That Support Electronic Signatures for a list of supported forms.
  12. Drag and drop the form from the list on the left to the list on the right.
  13. By default, when you add forms to a print set, they will show in the Print sidebar when used, and will be selected for print when used. You can right-click on a form to adjust these settings.
