Choose your firm data location
If you have office share or branch licensing and you store each firm's data in a different location, you'll need to specify what data location you'll use to prepare tax returns. The data location you select determines the clients, client documents, print options, invoices, and other office-wide options you'll have access to.
If you've already set up multiple file locations, you'll have the option to choose your office/data location when you first open UltraTax CS. You won't need to complete these steps. If you haven't set it up, or you aren't prompted to choose an office when signing in, do the following.
- In UltraTax CS, go toSetupthenUser Preferences.
- Select theFile Locationstab.
- In the File Types and Location list, selectUltraTax CS client data.
