Rebuild a client or read documents again

Most of the time you never need these. A normal build reads new and changed documents and uses what it read last time for the rest, so building a client again is quick. A client whose documents and answers have not changed keeps its sheet as it is.

The three choices in Build prep

• Read new and changed documents, and use saved readings for the rest. The normal build, and the default. On a first build every document is read.
• Read documents again. Reads every document fresh, as if for the first time. Use it when a sheet looks wrong and you want Taxably to take another look at the paper itself.
• Rebuild from scratch. Starts the client over and draws a new sheet from nothing.

Build prep says, for each client you tick, whether a reading is already saved on this computer. While nothing has been read for any of them, the two heavier choices are not offered, because there is nothing to read again.

Using a heavier choice

1. Press Build prep, tick the clients and press Check selection.
2. Choose Read documents again or Rebuild from scratch.
3. Pick the reason that fits. "Something else" asks for a short note; leave client names out of it.
4. Confirm that you know it takes longer, then build.

What it costs

A client is charged once per tax year, so building a client again for the same year is not charged as a new client. The price line in Build prep is the place to check before you press.
