Important Notes Before Printing
- Page Limit for Pre-Organizer Content: The pages preceding the first page of the organizer (e.g., client demographic/personal information page) should not exceed 25 pages. This includes the cover letter, inserts (such as questionnaires), and engagement letters.
- Form-Fillable Organizers: Form-fillable organizers generate significantly larger file sizes compared to non-fillable organizers. We recommend using the non-fillable version for bulk printing. However, both are supported.
- PDF Print Driver Restriction: Organizers printed using a PDF print driver will not process correctly. This is because printing through a PDF print driver removes the ability to extract text from the document.
- Questionnaires: We do not support Tax Organizer PDFs printed with only the questionnaire. Organizers must contain Tax Organizer pages.
- Action Items: The Action Items PDF is not supported for import, and any sections included in it will not be imported into Liscio. To modify these settings, so the instructions below.
- Organizer Options: Both Classic and Lite versions are supported. If you have a client with schedules, be sure to print the Classic version. Schedules are not supported in Lite once imported into Liscio.
- Auto-Matching Organizers to Clients:
- Taxpayer Email Address: The email address listed in the organizer must match the Primary Email Address associated with the client in Liscio.
- Client ID in the Filename: Include the Client ID after an underscore in the file name, e.g., "Smith, John and Jill_1234568.pdf".
- Note: If you have existing integrations, like GoFileRoom, that rely have the file name in a different order, do not change the settings globally. You can change a specific users settings so they can print organizers, then change it back to your regular print settings.
- To make sure that your External ID is after the underscore:
- Click Setup
- Select Office Configuration
- Click Print Options
- Click PDF File Options...
- Make your positions this order:
- Position 1: Client Name
- Position 2: Tax Year
- Position 3: Document Name
- Position 4: Client ID
