Tax provision automatic adjustments

A tax adjustment is now automatically generated to record the tax provision expense after the following steps are completed in a Caseware Taxflow engagement:

  • Import Financial information

  • Open and review the Tax groups assignment

Note: If changes to the default tax provision automatic adjustment are required, we recommend deleting the adjustment and recreating a new one based on the engagement specific. The new adjustment can be selected as “Recurring” to be carried forward in the next year’s file.
