The data sharing feature in UltraTax CS allows all eight federal applications to share demographic client data. It also allows for the sharing of K1 financial data across the 1040, 1041, 1120, and 1065 federal applications. The data will be stored and retrieved for each client using the taxpayer identification number (TIN). The data sharing feature will also provide W-2, 1099-R, 1099-Misc, and 1099-INT data from Accounting CS and Creative Solutions Accounting (CSA) client data for UltraTax CS. The client note will also be shared between UltraTax CS, FileCabinet CS, Fixed Assets CS, and Practice CS.
Mark this checkbox to deny other clients access to this client's data via Data Sharing. Note that the open client can still receive updates to shared data from other clients. To prevent this client's data from being shared
and
 from being updated by changes to other clients' data, mark the
Exempt this client from all Data Sharing functionality
 checkbox.

If you mark this field, when you import data from a 1065 client, multiple units will be created in the K1 1065, 1120S folder. Each unit will represent each activity within the 1065 client which the Schedule K-1 is being data shared from.
The Data Mining feature enables you to examine your UltraTax CS databases for specific data and client characteristics. Data Mining can help you identify your clients' tax accounting needs, pinpoint tax-savings opportunities, and target communications with your clients.
To have this client's data excluded from any searches performed by Data Mining, mark this checkbox.
FileCabinet CS provides automatic storage and retrieval mechanisms for documents produced by CS Professional Suite applications. For example, you can use FileCabinet CS to store federal and state tax returns from UltraTax CS, depreciation reports from Fixed Assets CS, and so on.
To deny FileCabinet CS access to this client's data, mark this checkbox. Also mark this checkbox if you want to prevent the automatic backup of this client's UltraTax CS data into FileCabinet CS but want to leave the automatic backup feature enabled in Setup, Office Configuration, then FileCabinet CS tab.
Practice CS provides you with the power and flexibility to handle every practice management task for your firm, including task tracking, maintaining staff and client information, and billing.
UltraTax CS can export invoice information to Practice CS so you don't have to reenter the billing information that appears on an UltraTax CS invoice. This invoice information is used to track the accounts receivable and process receipts in the Practice CS.
To prevent this client's invoice data from being sent to Practice CS, mark this checkbox.
