Record Termination Requirements

Every record in a Data Connection import file, including the last data record, must be terminated by a carriage return-line feed pair. If the carriage return-line feed pair is missing from the last record in an import file, the field value on the last record will not be imported into the designated tax return database location.

This requirement should be carefully confirmed in the program code of proprietary data entry Organizers that create Data Connection files to be imported.

Data Connection files created from Excel worksheets using the Save or Save As commands will have all records written to the CSV file in the proper manner. Do not choose the CSV UTF 8 option when saving; choose the regular CSV option.
