Address clients missing during proforma
UltraTax CS lets you proforma clients from one year to the next. However, if a client is missing from the proforma screen, the likely cause is either data entry in your prior-year client or incorrect data locations.
Data entry in prior year client
- In your prior year client, completing any one of the following fields will prevent the proforma.
- Suppress next year's proformacheckbox on the following screens in theGeneralfolder.
- 1040:Contactscreen.
- 1065:CltOptnsscreen.
- 990:OthInfoscreen.
- Other entities: 1st screen in theGeneralfolder.
- Final returnfield for 1120, 1065, and 1041 clients.
- Date of deathfield for 1040 and 709 clients.
- If any of the previous fields were complete, delete the data entry.
- Print preview the return and reproforma the client.
- If this is all correct, check the data locations.
Data locations
- Open the prior-year version of UltraTax CS.
- Go toSetup, thenSystem Configuration.
- In theData Locationstab, check the UltraTax CS data location.
- In the current year of UltraTax CS, go toUtilities, thenProforma.
- Check if the location in theData to proformabox matches the prior-year data location. If not, selectChange UltraTax CS Locationand specify the correct location.
- In the Focus box, do the following:
- Select the entity box.
- In thePreparer/reviewer/stafffield, selectAll Preparers.
- In theFiscal year endfield, selectAll Months.
- Unmark theExclude proforma'd clientscheckbox.
- If a 706 client, unmark theExclude 706 clientscheckbox.
Additional troubleshooting
If the client still isn't showing on your proforma screen, do the following.
- Check for a client lock in the prior-year application by going toHelp,Repair, thenFile Locks.
- Open the client in the prior-year UltraTax CS application, back up the client to your Desktop, and proforma the client from your Desktop.
- If there are other missing clients with the same entity:
- Go toFile, thenNew Client.
- If you get an error or the entity type is grayed out, that means the entity isn't properly installed.
