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.

By default, UltraTax CS creates a federal electronic file when you create the electronic file via the Print Returns or Print Extensions dialog if you mark the File this return electronically for Forms 990, 990-EZ, 990-PF, and 990-N returns checkbox in Screen ELF.

You can create state-only electronic files without the federal return. This option is useful when you are not electronically filing the federal return or when you must re-file the state return due to errors.

To create only a state electronic file for a client without creating the federal electronic file, enter X in the Suppress the creation of: Federal electronic file when only filing a state return or extension electronically checkbox in Screen ELF.

Note: You also have options for suppressing the automatic creation of state electronic returns when electronically filing only a federal return.
