Before you provide data to convert

Before you prepare data for conversion, rename, renumber, or modify client IDs to avoid issues in the conversion process. Client IDs must be unique across all entities in UltraTax CS.

You should remove any password protection in place for clients, if applicable.

  1. Create a folder on your desktop where you will copy your ProSystem fx data.
  2. For each entity, copy and paste the files to the folder you created in step 1. Use the table as reference. The * in the Files column represents the client ID used in ProSystem fx.

    2018

    Entity Source directory Files
    1040 \Wfx32\Client\18I *.U8I
    1041 \Wfx32\Client\18F *.U8F
    1065 \Wfx32\Client\18P *.U8P
    1120C \Wfx32\Client\18C *.U8C
    1120S \Wfx32\Client\18S *.U8S
    990 \Wfx32\Client\18X *.U8X

    2017

    Entity Source directory Files
    1040 \Wfx32\Client\17I *.U7I
    1041 \Wfx32\Client\17F *.U7F
    1065 \Wfx32\Client\17P *.U7P
    1120C \Wfx32\Client\17C *.U7C
    1120S \Wfx32\Client\17S *.U7S
    990 \Wfx32\Client\17X *.U7X

    For the most efficient conversion, you should send all data for a given year at the same time.

    The folder that contains the copied clients should resemble the following.

  3. Right-click the folder you created in step 1, and select Send to > Compressed zip, or ZIP the folder using your preferred method.

    Do not password protect or encrypt the ZIP file. Doing so will result in rejection of your submitted data.

Your data is now ready to be uploaded for conversion to UltraTax CS. Continue the process by setting up a conversion on the tax.tr.com website.
