Restore Client Returns from UTS folders to New Computer
Introduction
This article explains how to restore client returns from UTS folders to a new computer using Tax Software.
Prerequisites
Ensure Tax Software is installed and updated for each UTS folder version before proceeding.
- First download and install the Tax Software for each of the UTS folders (For example for UTS12 install 2012 Tax Software on new computer, for UTS13 install 2013 Tax Software etc..)
- Once you fully installed the software on the new computer, make sure to fully update the software by doing Communications > Get Program Updates and Communications > Get Module Updates
- You will then need to copy and override the "Users" folder from each of the old UTS folder's (that has the tax data) into the New UTS folder that is on the new computer.
- *Note - Before moving any further make sure you have created Usernames for each Username that was created in the other UTS versions your copying the data from. For example, in the old UTS/USERS folder, if you had a folder named 'John' then in the new Tax Software for that year, you need to create that Username so that when you repair the database, the returns will populate.
- Once you have done this, inside the UTS folder you will see a file called "dbrepair" you need to run this file and check the box "populate DB from returns."
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during the restoration process, verify that all usernames are correctly created and that the UTS folders are properly copied.
