Export to GoSystem Tax

You can export client depreciation data from Fixed Assets CS to a file that can later be imported into GoSystem Tax RS.
note
  • The import process is designed to import summary data into the
    4562 Overrides
     and
    Section 179 Overrides
     organizers. Summary data imported includes total basis for depreciation, recovery period (that is, life), depreciation convention, current year depreciation, total special depreciation (such as bonus), Section 179 data, etc.
  • Individual asset detail won’t import into GoSystem Tax RS locators.
  • State depreciation data won’t import.

Create the export file in Fixed Assets CS

    Options

    .
  2. Choose the account, year, return type, etc. and select
    Continue
    .

    Continue
    .

     and go to the path containing the export file you created in Fixed Assets CS.
    note
    If multiple files exist with XP as the last 2 characters before the file extension be sure to select the file with an extension that references the correct year. For example, a 2019 export file will have 19 in the file extension, a 2020 export file will have 20 in the file extension.

    Upload Files for Import
     and wait for the upload to finish.

  7. When the import is finished, we recommend that you verify that the depreciation data has been properly imported.
note

Income

4562 Overrides

  2. Have the user create a copy of the DWname.dat file in \WinCSI\Licenses.
  3. Rename the copied file to DGTname.dat
