Tax export to Lacerte

In the
Trial Balance
screen, you can create an export file of the contact's tax data in which you can specify the balance type and data format to export to Lacerte.
Prior to using the Lacerte tax integration feature, ensure that Lacerte is selected as the tax vendor in the
Contact Settings
section of the
Settings
tab.
  1. Open your project, then select the
    Trial Balance
    tab.
  2. Go to
    Export
    Lacerte Export
    to open the
    Lacerte Export Options
    panel.
  3. Select
    Tax
    or
    Adjusted
    as the balance type to include in the export file.
  4. Select
    Detail
    or
    Summary
    as the format, then select
    Export
    to create the file in your Downloads folder on your local drive.

note
  • You can include prior year balances in the export file.
  • When you select
    Detail
    , all accounts assigned to the same tax code are listed separately in the export file. This lets you import detail information into Lacerte. If user-defined tax subcodes are used, each subcode appears as a single-line item in the export file with the tax subcode description.
  • When you select
    Summary
    , all accounts with the same tax code will be grouped together into a single-line item.
  • Lacerte doesn’t allow detail for every tax code.
