Re-log the event
- Open the client in UltraTax CS.
- Go to .
- In theLog Eventtab, select the button for the completion or extension event to log it for the client.

Verify the client ID
Make sure the client ID in UltraTax CS matches the client ID in Practice CS. The social security number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN) doesn’t need to match.
Confirm the completion or extension event in the project or task
In Practice CS:
- Go to .
- Select the client, thenEdit.
- Go to theProjectstab.
- Find and double-select the project you want to complete or extend (or the project containing the relevant task).
- If you're completing/extending a project, stay on theMaintab. If you're completing a task, go to theTaskstab and double-select the task.
- Ensure theSelect solutiondropdown points to the correct year of UltraTax CS.
- Make sure theCompletion eventorExtension event(for projects only—tasks can't be extended) is set to the correct UltraTax CS event.
note
If the client has multiple projects:
- For projects with the same project ID/name and the same UltraTax CS year, Practice CS completes or extends the project with the oldest due date first. If your project is not the oldest, you'll need to log the event more than once.
- For projects with different IDs/names, Practice CS completes or extends only 1 project, even if you log the event multiple times. In this case, select a different completion or extension event.
