    important
    This step is necessary to create the data sharing files.
  4. Open the 1040 client then go to the
    K-1
     screen. The
    K-1
     screen is located under the
    K1 - 1065, 1120S
     folder or the
    K1 - 1041
     folder.
  5. Go to
    Taxpayer/Spouse/Joint
     and enter a
    T
     or
    S
    . By default, UltraTax CS looks at the taxpayer's social security number.
  6. Enter the 1065/1120/1041 client's EIN in the field provided on the
    K-1
     screen. When you're done, you'll be prompted to accept financial information.
note
If you make a change in the originating client and need to transfer the K-1 data again, you'll need to print preview the originating client to rebuild the data sharing files. The updated K-1 should data share into the 1040 return after you reopen the client.
If none of the data is shared after following the previous steps, you can also review the following options:
  • Verify the years-end for both clients end in the same calendar year.
  • Make sure data sharing is turned on:
    • Go to
      File
      Client Properties
      Advanced Properties
       for the clients where data isn't shared.
    • Find the following checkboxes under the
      Restrict Access
       tab and make sure they're cleared.
      • Except this client from all Data Sharing functionality
      • Deny others Data Sharing access to this client data
If only some data isn't shared, it may be due to the following reasons:
  • Reporting requirements differ between the clients.
  • Data sharing of the partner or shareholder's basis is suppressed.
  • The beginning basis and suspended losses aren't shared with 1040 clients by default.
