Searching Across Multiple States

If your State & Local practice area subscription includes access to more than one state, Checkpoint provides a state selection template that is built into the State & Local Taxes Search screen.

To perform a search across multiple states:

1. Click Search on the Top Toolbar.

2. Select State & Local from the Practice Area menu.

3. Click the State & Local Taxes option on the left sidebar.
   
   The State Selection template appears, listing all the states in your subscription.

   

4. If you select a single state from the list of subscribed states, then that state's specific state search template appears.

   If you select more than one state from the state selection template, the Multistate Search template appears:

   

5. The Multistate Search template displays the Tax and Document types common to the states you selected. Choose the tax and document types that you wish to search, type your search terms in the Keywords field, and click Search.

   Note: You cannot conduct a citation search when you select more than one state. Citation searches are restricted to single state searches only.

6. The Source List screen appears with a list of the states you searched and the number of documents for each state that matched your search terms. Click a state to view a list of the retrieved documents on the Document List screen.
