Show expandable text

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.

To view prior year data entry in a client that has been proforma'd, press the F8 keyboard function key. For example, if you have a 1040 client open in UltraTax CS and want to view the prior year wages, access Screen W2, located under the Income folder, and press the F8 key. This works especially well in the Asset tab to view a client's prior year mileage entered for a vehicle.

You can view prior year data within State Allocation dialogs. To view prior state allocation data, open the desired State Allocation dialog and press F8.

Note: When entering data in the current year, the data entry fields are white. Once you press the F8 key, the fields turn gray. After pressing the F8 key, press it again in order to return to the current year data entry.
