Company Info #
Store registered name, TIN, branch code, and address in Company Info. The active company profile pre-fills DAT headers and certificate fields across every module. Switch between multiple client companies from the sidebar.
DAT Repository #
Every generated DAT file can be saved to the DAT Repository for the active company. Browse, download, and manage past outputs — regenerating the same return overwrites the previous file.
