- Be sure to back up your CSA client database prior to opening it in a newer version of CSA. A client database is automatically updated to the current version in CSA and can no longer be opened in a prior version of CSA.
- To import from CSA into UltraTax CS for tax years 2001 or earlier, you should use a separate installation of CSA v.2003.4. We recommend installing the earlier version of CSA on a separate workstation that will not interfere with more current versions.
