Step 8 - Finalization - for Simplified Leadsheets and without leads binders
This step appears only if you submitted a binder without leads or with Simplified Leadsheets.
This window indicates the completion of the Review process. On the Review wizard, Simplified Leadsheets and Without Leadsheet (that is, none) binders will have the checkbox auto-selected for
Export data to (GoSystem Tax RS / CCH Axcess Tax RS)
. Applicable to 1040SCANverify and 1040SCAN PRO/PRO+.
note
- In the New Form Review (NFR) step, SurePrep verifiers (that is, 1040SCANverify service) may leave some documents unmatched if a clear match can't be found. However, if your firm has chosen to skip the NFR step, the unmatched form will be added as a new entity in theINDEX TREEtab in SPbinder. In theFinalizationwindow, if you have opted to automatically export data to the tax application (that is,Export data to _____), the exported data will appear as a new form in the tax application instead of populating the existing proforma form. To avoid this, we recommend closing the export window when it opens.
- The ability to auto-export data is not available for UltraTax CS and Lacerte.
The steps under Finalization are exporting data to the related tax application, opening SPbinder and converting the file into a SPbinder PDF.
