To see what's happened in your account, click your name in the top-right corner of Adams Tax Forms Helper and choose Activity. You'll see a list of recent sign-ins, purchases, account changes, filings, imports, and payer, employer, and recipient updates, which you can filter by date or category and export to a CSV file.
Checking your activity log is a quick way to confirm a change went through or to spot a sign-in you don't recognize. In Adams Tax Forms Helper, payers and employers are called Issuers. You can also open the log from My Account by clicking the Activity tab.

What happens next
