Export to Taxprep File

Exporting to a Taxprep file consists of exporting a CCH iFirm Taxprep file, including its metadata, to a file that can be opened in the desktop version of the Taxprep program.

The following metadata is preserved when exporting a tax return:

  • Return’s notes

  • Attached notes (Cells' comments)

  • Predefined return statuses

  • Lock of the return

  • EFILE status

Return statuses

When exporting a CCH iFirm Taxprep return associated with a custom return status, the return status in Taxprep will then be set to In Progress.

However, if a return is associated with a predefined return status, the status will be imported into Taxprep as per the mapping table below, regardless of whether the return status associated in CCH iFirm Taxprep is inactive.
