Convert CCH Axcess returns to GoSystem Tax RS in-office
- The in-office conversion process is typically released each December.
- The initial conversion is current‑year to current‑year. One locator is required to begin and a second locator to roll the results forward into the next year.
- Don't convert duplicate clients or test returns.
- Before you export your data, remove all client passwords. If you skip this step, the data won’t be converted.
