Step 7 - Finalization

The Finalization wizard indicates the completion of the Review process. This step appears only if you submitted a binder without leads or with Simplified Leadsheets.
When working in a client's binder made without leads, the
Export data to tax software (make sure the tax return is closed before exporting)
checkbox will be auto-selected by default. Applicable to 1040SCANverify and 1040SCAN PRO/PRO+.
The ability to auto-export data is not available for UltraTax CS and Lacerte.
Export data to tax software checkbox greyed out
note
In the New Form Review (NFR) step, SurePrep verifiers (i.e. 1040SCANverify service) may leave some documents unmatched if a clear match cannot be found. However, if your firm has chosen to skip the NFR step, the unmatched form will be added as a new entity in the INDEX TREE tab in SPbinder.
In the Finalization window, if you have opted to automatically export data to the tax software (i.e., "Export data to _____"), the exported data will appear as a new form in the tax software instead of populating the existing proforma form. To avoid this, we recommend closing the export window when it launches.

Open SPBinder

Open SPbinder will be auto-selected by default. Below this, you will see the following option: Create PBFX (Portable Binder Format):
  • Will give you the ability to access and save the binder at the desired location.
