GoSystem Tax RS integration 2019 and earlier

Use the following procedures to transfer general ledger account balances, tax code information, and journal entry detail froma client into the client's database within GoSystem Tax RS (v.12-2 and higher). The export file (XML format) contains application tax codes that are automatically mapped to the corresponding Tax Return Codes and M-3 Return codes when they are imported.
The tax code assignments that you make in the application for specific general ledger accounts enable GoSystem Tax RS to carry account balances to the proper lines on the appropriate tax forms.
If you use method 1, verify that the data paths are set up correctly in both applications prior to transferring account balances from the application to GoSystem Tax RS.
To set up file locations for GoSystem Tax RS and other applications: Select
