Tax export to ProSystem fx

Use the Export Client Data Wizard to export client tax data to your ProSystem fx tax application from
Workpapers CS
. Exporting client tax data to ProSystem fx Axcess is currently unavailable. You can specify the export file (or files), tax year, balance type, and format of the data to export. The tax code assignments that you make for specific general ledger accounts in
Workpapers CS
 enable ProSystem fx to carry account balances to the proper lines on the appropriate tax forms.
Before you transfer account balances from
Workpapers CS
 to ProSystem fx, verify that the data paths are set up correctly in both applications. To do this in
Workpapers CS
, select
Setup
 >
File Locations
 >
Export
 tab to set up file locations for ProSystem fx and other applications.

Workpapers CS

Assign the appropriate tax codes for the selected client in either of the following screens.
  • In the Tax information section of the
    Chart of Accounts
     screen.
  • In the data-entry grid in the

     column, select
    View Maintenance
