Basic rollover process
Steps to rollover binders from the previous year to the current year
- Rollover International Enterprise. (Rolls over Source codes and International apportionment base codes.)noteIf your tax department licensed the International Income Tax software 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 is you do any international work in the system such as Form 1118 or foreign entity processing.
- SelectBatch, thenRollover International Enterprise.Since you can't delete Source Codes, this process allows you to remove unnecessary codes by not rolling them over. Review the source codes to determine which ones you want to rollover and then selectRollover.
- Determine which charts and member binders must be rolled over to the current year.noteIf you plan to make chart changes in 2024, refer to the related topic Chart rollover.
- Entities marked as a final return in the previous year's Organizer (General Info > Basic Return Info) will not rollover automatically. Check theFinal Returnfield in your topcon to see if theFinal Returnbox is marked.
- Rollover international charts using batch processing.
- Rollover all federal and state charts before rolling over binders. Rollover charts first and roll them over in the order they're listed (top to bottom) because some charts are dependent upon other charts. (Batch, thenRollover, thenCharts.)
- 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 then selectRollover.
- Decentralized tax departments can rollover charts and binders in stages, instead of simultaneously. Charts can only be rolled over once.
- If the prior year state A&A charts are customized then you can select theRegardless of law or form changes, do not change my custom logicoption. If you don't your custom logic will be updated by the ONESOURCE default logic.
- Rollover consolidated binders using batch processing.
- Select the federal topcon on Batch,Batch Process, thenConsolidationtab. This populates the Members tab in Binders, Actions, Info.
- RunStep 2 Rolloverand wait for it to complete.
- Use Batch Rollover on the state topcons, then the system won't create duplicate member binders.
- Verify that all charts showRollover Completeby going toBatch, thenRollover Charts Statusbefore rolling over the binders
- If you initially rolled the members using theBinder Grouptab instead of theConsolidationtab:
- Remove all subsidiaries from the topcon on the Batch rollover screen before rolling any topcon to avoid duplicate subsidiary binders.
- The system will still create a duplicate parent binder. Don't open it; just delete it.
- Rollover non-consolidated binders.
