    • The To-Do list on the home page will only show your five (5) with the soonest due date. 

    2. The Recent Files list will show the 5 most recently uploaded files to your portal by you and your accountant. 

    3. The To-do tab will show a list of all tasks assigned to you by your accountant.

    4. The Files tab will show all of the files kept on your account.
