Release notes highlight new features and improvements made to ONESOURCE Tax Provision Classic.

New features

Deferred Rate Change options
  • You can now:
    • Move the
      Rate Change
      column anywhere among the columns
    • Inherit the name and position of the subtotal (adjusted beginning balance) column
    • Define by class how to assign
      FX rate change
      ,
      Tax rate change
      , and
      Tax rate impact
      .
  • The new columns for
    FX rate change
    ,
    Tax rate change
    , and
    Tax rate impact
    next to the grid default to the existing behavior.
    • FX rate change
      and
      Tax rate change
      default to the rate change column.
    • Tax rate impact
      will default to
      Deferred
      .
Terminology change
In the
More
and
Administration
menus available from
My Dataset
:
Manage NOL Rollforwards
is now
Manage Tax Loss Rollforwards
.
Deferred balances
  • Expanded Balance Sheet:
    • You can now assign
      Tax rates
      and
      FX rates
      to the
      Rate Change
      column or any other column, except for the designated subtotal column. The
      Rate Change
      column is visible in the
      Deferred
      and
      Tax Loss Rollforward
      columns, making it movable.
    • Previously, the
      Rate Change
      column was fixed in the 2nd position immediately after
      Beginning Balance
      and calculated the
      Rate Change
      based on the
      Beginning Balance
      .
    • Now, after introducing the
      Rate Change
      column in the
      Deferred
      and
      Tax Loss Rollforward
      list, you can move the
      Rate Change
      column and place it anywhere before the
      Ending Balance
      . The
      Rate Change
      will revalue all the columns placed before it.
    • Currently, all columns are stated at the ending tax rate and ending FX rate, except for the
      Beginning Balance
      . When you move the
      Rate Change
      column to a new position, all columns before the
      Rate Change
      column will be stated at current tax and current FX rates (except
      Beginning Balance
      ).
  • Expanded Income Statement:
    • The new balance sheet adjustment section shows the tax rate change differences when the
      Tax rate impact
      setting is set to
      Balance Sheet Only
      .
    • The new section continues to use ending FX rates on all columns, as
      Currency Translation
      occurs before this section.
Deferred Workpaper
  • We've added Report Options for
    View
    and
    Unit Breakout
    .
  • View
    options now include
    Summary
    and
    Detail
    .
  • Unit Breakout
    options now include
    None
    or
    All
    .
  • Summary
    view with
    Unit Breakout
    set to
    None
    is the original view of this report before you select new options.
  • Summary
    view with
    Unit Breakout
    set to
    All
    corresponds to the version available in the Plug-in reports called
    Deferred Workpapers By Unit
    .
  • Use
    Detail
    to view 4 sets of columns for Balance Sheet or Income Statement, Pre-Tax, and Tax-effected in both Beginning and Ending Balance sections.
    • The determination of which column amounts appear is based on selections made in the
      Tax Rate Impact
      setting within
      Manage Deferred
      and
      Tax Loss Rollforward
      , where
      Deferred
      equals Income Statement and Balance Sheet Only equals Balance Sheet.
The following limitations apply:
  • These changes won’t apply to Tag Datasets.
  • You can't rename or delete the
    Rate Change
    column.
  • The Deferred Balances Legacy Report won’t show the additional columns in the expanded Income Statement view.
  • You can still use up to 30 columns in the rollforward, including
    Beginning Balance
    ,
    Ending Balance
    ,
    Rate Change
    , and a designated subtotal column. When you add the 28th column in
    Manage deferred rollforward
    , you'll need to designate it as a subtotal column.
  • If your dataset already includes a column named
    Rate Change
    before this release, it will function like any other named column. You can designate it as the
    Rate Change
    column by using
    Copy from Admin
    or
    Import
    .

Known issues

  • In the Column Breakout report options on
    Deferred Balances (expanded Balance Sheet)
    , the
    Rate Change
    appears twice. Use the 2nd to receive results.
  • The designated subtotal column is visible in the Column Breakout report options on
    Deferred Balances (expanded Balance Sheet)
    , but is not yet functional.
  • The new
    Tax Rate Impact
    dropdown in the
    Manage Deferred
    and
    Tax Loss Rollforward
    is not yet functional.
  • In a class dataset, the column designated as a subtotal in the
    Deferred Balances (expanded Balance Sheet)
    will initially appear 1 column after its expected position. However, when you view the
    Manage Deferred Rollforward
    , the report will then display the column in the correct position.

ONESOURCE Tax Provision Global Access

  • We've removed the dependency on AWS AppStream for Global Access. You will no longer be redirected to AppStream when you open Global Access.
  • You no longer need to save to a temporary folder before you can access a file when using
    File
    Save
    and
    Download
    .
  • Global Access will now work using any modern browser.
  • The changes made to the
    Deferred Workpaper
    ,
    Deferred Balance Expanded Income Statement

    Deferred Balance Expanded Balance Sheet
    reports are also implemented for Global Access.
