Excel Add-in: Introduction
Please refer to the Data Input Specifications for Worksheets Imported using the Excel Add-In (file name 2021: Excel Add-In Data Import Specifications Workbook).
Excel Add-In
With the Excel Add-In, you can open an existing or new Microsoft Excel® worksheet, map the data, and then import the mapped data to Organizer fields in the tax application.
The Excel Add-In enhances the efficiency of data import by:
- Decreasing data input time.
- Eliminating transcription errors that can occur when manually entering data.
- Incorporating tools for copying data and mapping the schemas from one worksheet to another in preparation for import.
- Enhancing the control and flexibility of data import and management.
- Identifying worksheet errors such as duplications, incorrect codes, and miscalculations, before data is loaded into the Organizer, preventing time-consuming edits and corrections.
Currently, the Excel Add-In is available for 1040, 1065, and 1120 returns for Organizer import.
