New (tax) year, new help!

Fixed Assets and UltraTax CS 2023 help is now on Help and Support. We're still moving articles, but you can find most content for the 2023 tax year there. Continue using the Help & How-To Center for tax years 2022 and older.

  • Taxpayer Identification Number (SSN or EIN) - Enter numbers only, without any dashes. For example, in a 1040 client organizer, enter an SSN of 111-22-3333 as 111223333. For a business organizer, enter an EIN of 11-1223333 as 111223333.

    UltraTax/1040 Organizer only: If the Require a password to display SSNs checkbox is marked in the Setup > Security tab, we recommend that you do not use the SSN as a component of the email organizer password. View important information about masking SSNs.

    Note: You cannot use the SSN as the password when Applied for, Amish, Foreign US, or W-7 attached is entered as the SSN.

  • Phone number - Enter only the last seven digits of the phone number; do not include the area code. For example, enter a telephone number of 800-555-1040 as 5551040.
  • Zip code - Enter only the first five digits of the zip code. For example, enter a zip code of 92008-2195 as 92008.
  • Combination of fields - If more than one checkbox is chosen to generate the password, use the + character to separate each piece of information. For example, if the password consists of the phone number (800-555-1040), zip code (92008-2195), and SSN for a 1040 organizer (111-22-3333) or EIN for a business organizer (11-1223333), enter the password as 111223333+5551040+92008.
