E-file Submission Report is blank and does not display any taxpayer information
🔍 What This Guide Covers
This guide explains what to do when your E-file Submission Report is blank and does not display any taxpayer information.
It is most likely caused by an issue with SAP® Crystal Reports® Basic Runtime for Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2008, which installs when you install TaxWise.
⚠️ Before You Begin
Note: If TaxWise is on a network, perform the following steps on each workstation that is affected.
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Close TaxWise
Use this when you need to make sure the program is not running before repairing the runtime.
- Close TaxWise (on the affected workstation if on a network).
Step 2: Open Control Panel
Use this to access the uninstall/repair options for the Crystal Reports runtime.
- Click the Microsoft® Windows® Start button, and click Control Panel.
- If in Category view, click Uninstall a program under Programs. If in Large Icons or Small Icons view, click Programs and Features.
Step 3: Repair Crystal Reports Basic Runtime
Use this to repair the component that is most likely causing the blank report.
- Locate Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio 2008
- Left-click to highlight.
- Click Repair at the top of the program list.
Step 4: Watch for the repair result
Use this to confirm whether the repair completed successfully or if you received a network-related installer error.
You will see one of the following:
- A small box displays as it is repairing and the box will automatically close when finished with no message
- A Microsoft® Windows® Installer box with a message, "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
Step 5: Re-create and send the e-file
Use this to verify whether the repair fixed the blank E-file Submission Report.
If Crystal Reports® Basic Runtime for Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2008 runs the repair with no errors, re-create the e-file and attempt to send.
- If the repair fixed the issue, your E-file Submission Report will now be populated.
- If the repair did not correct your issue or you receive the Microsoft® Windows® Installer error mentioned above, you will need to contact Technical Support for assistance.
