Why was my data shipped back unconverted? What steps should I take to resolve this?
Follow any return instructions that accompanied your original media. Re-submit the new backup to ProSeries for processing with a completed and signed agreement form.

My converted data files are not identical to the original files I submitted. Why?
The converted files are only designed to transfer critical Year-To-Year client data to the ProSeries Tax program. These files are incomplete and not designed to produce a complete or accurate ProSeries Tax return. These files are only designed to get your Year-To-Year Transfer ready.

Why were some of my files not converted?
Most often, the files were bad or corrupt, improperly backed up, missing critical data to the process, password-protected, or locked. These files can be corrected for those issues that apply, and resubmitted. Please re-send only those unconverted files back to ProSeries.

What kind of timeline can I expect when converting to ProSeries?
In most cases, conversion takes 10 business days from the date we receive your files. Large quantities of data files may require additional time for conversion.
