View AnswerI have tried to log on to Checkpoint so I can access Tax Alerts, but I keep getting a Login error message, or else the opening page fails to appear. What am I doing wrong?

The site may be down or under construction. Please call Technical Support at 1-800-431-9025 (option 4) if, after a few attempts, the opening page does not render.

View AnswerWhy do I keep getting a "Password is Blank" error message when I log on to Checkpoint so I can access Tax Alerts?

You are most likely using AOL as your browser. This error will not occur if you switch to Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.

View AnswerI try to login but I get a message that says "Multiple logins not allowed." What does this mean?

This message usually indicates that your ID is already in use at another workstation. You may have closed an earlier browser session without logging out. A given user ID can only accommodate one user at a time.

You could also receive this message if you are not accepting cookies on your computer.

View AnswerI didn't receive instructions on how to access the system or what my user IDs are. How can I receive this information?

Click this email link and a response will be sent to your e-mail address.

View AnswerWhere are my top toolbar and navigation buttons on the bottom of the screen?

If you use Internet Explorer 5.x, you must ensure that your network accepts JavaScript through the firewall. Otherwise, the top toolbar and navigation buttons may not appear.

It is recommended that you used Intenet Explorer 6.x or higher.

View AnswerMy screen keeps cutting off information. How can I correct this?

This problem can only be fixed by adjusting the resolution of your monitor. Use the Windows Settings feature. The optimal setting is 800 x 600.

View AnswerThe Tax Alerts product looks different than the last time I logged on. Some of the features that I have become familiar with, such as the Search screen and the News screen have also changed. Also, there are new features that I am unfamiliar with. Will I be able to do the same things I did before and how do I learn how to use the new features?

RIA is continually upgrading its Tax Alerts software in an effort to provide you with the simplest yet most comprehensive research tool. Though upgraded features may seem foreign to you at first, we are sure that once you get a chance to test them out, you will become comfortable with them and appreciate their versatility. Your ability to use these new features should in no way be impaired by any modifications since you are already familiar with their basic functionality. If you need assistance, you can access Tax Alerts Help from the Top Toolbar.
