# tax.statements.acknowledge

Tell the accountant that an account's statement gap is known and nothing more can be done ({ period, accountId, acknowledged, note (required, plain words such as 'The card wasn't used this year'), expectedRevision (0 when new), idempotencyKey }). The account stops counting as needing attention, the gap stays listed for the accountant with the note, and the answer is audited. acknowledged false withdraws it.

| `note` | string |  | A short note, kept with the record. at most 500 characters. Default `""`. |
| `expectedRevision` | integer | Yes | The record's current revision, from the last time you read it. If someone changed the record since, the request is refused with a conflict so you can reload and check before trying again. 0 to 9007199254740991. |
