Set up Federal data sources

The setup area for federal data sources allows you to manage where data's coming from for each federal item for each quarter and extension.
You can select Tax Provision when you want data gathered from the ONESOURCE Tax Provision product or Entry when you enter data in the Estimated Payments product.

Federal data source items correspond to each data entry section. Some items won't allow a selection for Tax Provision.
