Sending data to be converted
- To submit your firm's client data for conversion, you must upload the data through your CS website account using a Secure Data Exchange (SDE). If you don’t already have a CS website account, start by following these steps to set up your account.
- Once your account is set up, request a data conversion from our Product Support Team or through your Onboarding Representative.
- To set up the conversion, we’ll need to know the following:
- Prior software
- GoSystem Tax PAN ID
- A rough count of how many returns you will be converting, per entity type
- Which CS website account and email will be submitting the data
Because the initial conversion is current‑year to current‑year, one locator is required for that step, with a second locator needed to roll the results forward into the subsequent year. Take care not to convert duplicate clients or test returns. - Once you have requested the conversion, upload your data to the SDE using the instructions in this article.
- Sign in to your account at Sign in to Tax & Accounting.
