  1. Create a folder on your desktop where you will export your TaxWise data.

  2. Navigate to the TaxWise data directory folder. The default data directory for TaxWise is C:\UTS17\Users or C:\UTS18\Users.

  3. Press CTRL+A to select all of the files in the data folder.

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

  4. Press CTRL+C to copy the selected files.

  5. Browse to the folder you created in step 1, and paste the files in that folder.

    The folder that contains the TaxWise data should resemble the following.

  6. 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.
