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.

UltraTax CS includes comprehensive reports for various status events in the electronic filing process. You can use these reports to manage your clients' returns, especially for electronic filing deadlines. You can filter these reports by application, status, return type, and more.

Note: You can preview or print reports, export reports to an Excel spreadsheet or to a .DIF file to be opened and edited in a spreadsheet application, or send reports to FileCabinet CS or Onvio Documents (if licensed).
