Common errors

  • Error:
    Incorrect filename. Should be in the format XYSSClientid
    • The file name is formatted incorrectly. Update it to match the
      XYSSClientid
       convention, where X represents the tax entity, Y is the last digit of the year, and SS is the jurisdiction (like U.S.).
    • Example: For a 2022 1041 with a client named IMPORT, the file name should be
      F2USIMPORT.Encr
      .
  • Error:
    Invalid XML
    • Make sure that the year of the FAS Export matches the year of UltraTax you are importing into.
