Bulk Printing Organizers from UltraTax
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 are not compatible with Liscio. Use non-fillable version only.
- 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 C, E, F, or 4835 are not supported in the Lite version once imported into Liscio. Lite does support Schedule A.
- 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
