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.

The Data Mining interface is comprised primarily of the main window (where you perform searches, review results, and so on) and the Data Mining toolbar, which you can use to complete common Data Mining tasks.

Data Mining window

The Data Mining window, the main screen of Data Mining provides an overview of the three major steps, and opens when you choose Data Mining from the Utilities menu. You can select the database you want to search, such as 1040 Individual.

Note: This window also displays a data-location drop-down list in which you can select an alternative data location to search, if applicable. If you have multiple offices, changing the default data-location will prompt you to select the appropriate office location.

To complete a search in Data Mining, you must perform each of these steps.
