In MYOB Accountants Enterprise and Accountants Office Tax (MYOB Tax) return security can be applied on a tax return to secure and protect client tax information. To apply return security on specific returns the feature will need to be activated for the specific tax year and then return security can be applied on specific tax returns. To apply return security on any other tax year you will need to follow the same instructions for that specific year. | UI Text Box |
