Create a report of clients who have logged a specific status event
UltraTax CS includes a number of pre-supplied reports, referred to as Client Listing Reports that contain commonly needed client information such as contact information or the type of returns that were filed for the client. You can filter these reports by the status events logged for the client. This includes both status events automatically logged by UltraTax CS, and custom status events created and logged by the firm. This lets reports be made for clients that meet specific criteria, for example, a list of clients who were sent Web Organizers, or who have had their extension electronically filed and accepted. It's also possible to use multiple status events so that a list of clients that have been sent a Web Organizer, but for whom a Web Organizer was never retrieved, can be produced.
Follow these steps to create a report to identify clients who have logged a particular status event.
- In UltraTax CS, selectUtilities, thenClient Listing Reports.

- After the event modification is completed:
- If no clients have had the event logged, the window won't display any clients.
- If 1 or more clients have had the event logged, the window will display these clients. UseSelect Allto generate a report for these clients.
- SelectPreviewto view a report based on the selected status event.
Create a report using multiple status events
The following steps use 2 status events to produce a report. You can also create a report with custom status events. For example, if you create custom status events such as
Completed
and Reviewed
to track the preparation of returns, it's possible to create a report that lists all clients that have been completed, but not reviewed.- In UltraTax CS, selectUtilities, thenClient Listing Reports.
- Select the report you want to use. For example, selectGeneral Client Information, thenContinue.
- In theSelect Clients for Reportwindow, selectModifyin the Focus area.
- SelectLogged, then the dropdown in theat eventfield. Select the + next toOrganizer Events, thenOrganizer Web sent.
- SelectAnother, then the dropdown next toLogged, thenNot Logged. Then select the dropdown in theat eventfield and selectOrganizer Web retrieved. SelectOK.
- After the event modification is completed:
- If no clients have had the event logged, the window won't display any clients.
- If 1 or more clients have had the event logged, the window will display these clients. UseSelect Allto generate a report for these clients.
noteYou can further modify the report to display, for example, only 1040 clients, or only clients assigned to a specific preparer. To do so, use the options in the Focus area. For example, by clearing all the checkboxes except for1040and making a selection in thePreparer/reviewer/stafffield, the report will only display 1040 clients assigned to a specific preparer that were sent a web organizer, but haven't had a web organizer retrieved through CS Connect. - SelectPreviewto view a report based on the selected status events.
