Rollover process

Basic rollover process

The rollover process takes information in the current year binder or chart and rolls it over to the next year. This saves you time when starting a new tax year.

Steps to rollover binders from the previous year to the current year

  1. Roll over International Enterprise (rolls over Source codes and International apportionment base codes).
    note
    If your tax department licensed International Income Tax in the current or any prior year (whether or not it was implemented or used), then you must run Rollover International Enterprise.
    This step is also required if you do any international work in the system such as Form 1118 or foreign entity processing.
  2. Select
    Batch
    , then
    Rollover International Enterprise
    .
    Since you can't delete Source Codes, this process lets you remove unnecessary codes by not rolling them over. Review the source codes to determine which ones you want to roll over and then select
    Rollover
    .
  3. Determine which charts and member binders must be rolled over to the current year.
    note
    If you plan to make chart changes in 2024, refer to the related topic Chart rollover.
  4. Entities marked as a final return in the previous year's Organizer (
    General Info
    Basic Return Info
    ) won’t roll over automatically. Check the
    Final Return
    field in your topcon to see if the
    Final Return
    checkbox is marked.
  5. Roll over international charts using batch processing.
  6. Roll over all federal and state charts before rolling over binders. Roll over charts first and roll them over in the order they're listed (top to bottom) because some charts are dependent upon other charts (
    Batch
    , then
    Rollover
    , then
    Charts
    ).
    1. If grouped charts exist as signified by a + sign on the side of the screen, then expand each chart section to select the charts inside. After you've selected the charts, select
      Rollover
      .
    2. Decentralized tax departments can rollover charts and binders in stages, instead of simultaneously. Charts can only be rolled over once.
    3. If the prior year state A&A charts are customized, then you can select the
      Regardless of law or form changes, do not change my custom logic
      option. If you don't, your custom logic will be updated by the ONESOURCE default logic.
  7. Roll over consolidated binders using batch processing.
    1. Select the federal topcon on Batch,
      Batch Process
      , then
      Consolidation
      tab. This populates the Members tab in Binders, Actions, Info.
    2. Run
      Step 2 Rollover
      and wait for it to complete.
    3. Use Batch Rollover on the state topcons, then the system won't create duplicate member binders.
  8. Verify that all charts show
    Rollover Complete
    by going to
    Batch
    , then
    Rollover Charts Status
    before rolling over the binders.
  9. If you initially rolled the members using the
    Binder Group
    tab instead of the
    Consolidation
    tab:
    1. Remove all subsidiaries from the topcon on the Batch rollover screen before rolling any topcon to avoid duplicate subsidiary binders.
    2. The system will still create a duplicate parent binder. Don't open it; delete it.
  10. Rollover non-consolidated binders.
  11. In
    Batch Process
    for a
    Binder Group
    , with all rolled over 1120 binders in
    Enterprise Control Panel
    under
    Federal
    in
    TAS
    , line
    Mark Federal TAS Detail to transfer to Organizer
    , mark the
    Yes / On
    checkbox and select
    Submit
    .
  12. Repeat for each
    Return Type
    with binders.
