Import tax returns (Import TR)

Import TR allows you to fetch updated (dollar) amounts from the tax software into the Leadsheets. Importing the tax return amounts into SPbinder allows you to keep the amounts in sync with the tax software and reduce Leadsheet variances (i.e., avoiding discrepancies between the tax software vs SPbinder Leadsheets).
