Set up a conversion

Once your data is prepared, visit the CS Professional Suite website to set up your conversion. You can initiate the upload in a matter of minutes, and work on other projects while you wait for the upload to complete.

1. Visit the tax.tr.com website, and Set up an UltraTax CS conversion.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process and upload your prepared data.

Once submitted, you will receive a confirmation email message that the Data Conversion team has received the data. The Conversion Team will then be hard at work converting your data. Generally, the process takes about five to ten business days.

Load converted data into UltraTax CS

Once your data conversion is complete, you will receive an email alerting you that the converted data is available. Click a link below for step-by-step instructions to either proforma the data or restore the data.

You can restore or proforma converted data into UltraTax CS; do not use both methods with the same converted data. If you restore your converted data, you should proforma the restored client data directly from the prior-year UltraTax CS, rather than proforma'ing clients from the converted data.

• To begin data entry using prior-year information converted from completed 2017 competitor returns, proforma converted data into 2018 UltraTax CS.
• To complete data entry for returns on extension in 2018 competitor applications, restore converted data to 2018 UltraTax CS.

Review converted data

After you restore or proforma your data into UltraTax CS, you should carefully review the data. Refer to the Checklists for reviewing converted data to assist in your review.

Congratulations! Once you have converted and reviewed your data, you are ready to process returns.
