Instructions for 2008 Form CPT with Calculations

The Form CPT has been enhanced to complete all calculations and to compute the amount of tax due. Just key in your data prior to printing the form.

IMPORTANT: If you choose to use the fill-in option, please do not handwrite any other data on the form other than your signature.

• Updates to Form CPT with Calculations - The page will show you what changes have been made to the Form CPT when it is updated.

• Requirements for downloading forms

  You MUST have a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 or later installed on your computer in order to view and print these forms. You can download a copy from the Adobe website. It is also necessary to use either Netscape 3.0 or Internet Explorer 3.0 or later versions in order to accurately view or download these forms. Earlier versions of these browsers, as well as others, do not have the "font catching" capabilities needed to properly use these forms.

• Calculated Fields - The fields highlighted in yellow are read-only fields and no data can be entered in these fields. Data can be entered in the fields shown in white.

• Navigation Buttons - The buttons in Blue are there to navigate to the different pages. You also can move to the different screen by using the navigation buttons available in Acrobat and Acrobat Reader.

• Printing Form - You must use the green PRINT FORM button to print your form. If you try to print the form using the Print command in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, you will get one page with a statement and one blank page.

• 2D Barcode - The Form CPT has also been enhanced to print a two dimensional (2D) barcode. The PRINT FORM button MUST be used to generate the (2D) barcode which contains data entered on the form. The use of a 2D barcode vastly improves processing of your return and reduces the costs associated with processing your return.

• Saving Form - You will not be able to save your return unless you have the complete version of Acrobat. You cannot save the return in Acrobat Reader. Therefore, please make sure that you print a copy for your records.
