Description:
How to update client files from the previous year.
Links:
Client Selection Screen

We recommend you do NOT update clients with the early realease CD. The early release CD is sent out so Organizers can be sent to clients. Please wait for the Version 1 CD to be sent to you before updating clients to eliminate problems later on.

  1. On the Client Selection screen, select the Data Path Name, Folder and System (i.e. 1040, 1041, 1065, etc.) you want to update to, then click the Update button (figure 1).
    • Note: Clients will be updated to the Data Path and Folder selected here, regardless of the Data Path and Folder in the previous year.
