Integrate with 3rd party

Import from Fiduciary Accounting Software (FAS) to UltraTax CS

UltraTax CS can now import accounting data from Fiduciary Accounting Software (FAS) into 1041 returns.

Setup

To enable the integration, follow these steps:
  1. Open the
    Setup
     menu and select
    User Preferences
    .
  2. Go to the
    Misc
     tab.
  3. Mark the
    Enable Export from Fiduciary Accounting Software (FAS)
     checkbox.
  4. Select
    OK
     to close the window.

Import

When you export accounting data from FAS, it saves the data as an ENCR file.
To import the file into UltraTax CS, follow these steps:
  1. Open the 1041 return that needs the import data.
  2. Select
    Utilities
    , then choose
    Fiduciary Accounting Software (Import)
    .
  3. Locate and select the ENCR file to import, then select
    Open
    .
  4. Select
    OK
     in the
    Import Successful
     window. If the import fails, refer to the next section for common error solutions.
note
Currently, if you export an Excel file from FAS with beneficiary data and distributions, you can't import it directly into UltraTax. Instead, use the following method:
  1. In FAS, go to
    Utilities
    , select
    1041 Excel Export
    , then
    Save the template file
    .
  2. Copy the beneficiary data into this saved template file.
  3. In UltraTax, go to
    Utilities
    , then choose
    1041 Excel Import
    .
  4. Select the modified file.

Common errors

  • Error:
    Incorrect filename. Should be in the format XYSSClientid
    • The file name is formatted incorrectly. Update it to match the
      XYSSClientid
       convention, where X represents the tax entity, Y is the last digit of the year, and SS is the jurisdiction (like U.S.).
    • Example: For a 2022 1041 with a client named IMPORT, the file name should be
      F2USIMPORT.Encr
      .
  • Error:
    Invalid XML
    • Make sure that the year of the FAS Export matches the year of UltraTax you are importing into.
