Drake Software User’s Manual
Appendix F: Addenda Pages for 2012
The Drake Software User’s Manual is updated as changes are made to the software to
reflect IRS changes and improve the user experience for tax preparers. The manual is
provided in electronic version on your CD, online, and as a “hard copy,” which can be
ordered from Drake Software for a fee. To access the online manual:
• From the Drake Home window, select Help > Online Resources.
• From the Drake Support site, select Training Tools > Manuals and click the link
for the 2012 manual.
Note to dial-up users: The PDF document is large and will take time to download. We
suggest that you use the version on your latest CD rather than downloading the PDF.
Addenda pages are provided throughout the season for those who use a printed version
of the manual. These pages are provided on the CD and on the Drake Support
site. This appendix is a guide to the addenda pages added to the Drake Software User’s
Manual: Tax Year 2012 during filing season 2012. This appendix is updated regularly
throughout tax season.
NOTE
To ensure that you always have the most up-to-date version of the
manual, we recommend using the online manual, available from the
Drake Home window, (go to Help > Online Resources), and on the
Drake Support site. If you use a PDF of the manual copied to your
desktop, we recommend periodically replacing your PDF copy with the
updated online manual.
While Table F-1 provides a record of the changes made to the manual throughout the
season, the instructions are for printed-manual users only.
