You can quickly and efficiently export and import partner information to and from UltraTax/1065 and a Microsoft Excel workbook. When you export partner information from UltraTax/1065, the Excel Export / Import utility creates Excel worksheets for partner information, profit transfers, loss transfers, and capital transfers (from the Partner Information, Allocations, and Changes of Ownership windows in Partner Data Entry) as follows:

  • 1065 Spreadsheet: This worksheet contains columns for partner demographic data and other information, profit sharing percentage, loss sharing percentage, ownership capital percentage, ownership capital amount, and special allocations.
  • Profit Transfers: This worksheet contains columns for changes in partner profit sharing percentages or units of ownership by date.
  • Loss Transfers: This worksheet contains columns for changes in partner loss sharing percentages or units of ownership by date.
  • Capital Transfers: This worksheet contains columns for changes in partner ownership capital percentages or units of ownership by date.

The table identifies the UltraTax/1065 spreadsheet information that exports to Excel and the Excel worksheet that contains the corresponding information for import into UltraTax/1065.
