The Trial Balance Tax Mappings feature allows you to either edit tax lines pre-mapped by the program or assign tax lines for account balances that have not yet been mapped.
- The feature automatically groups your account balances within the appropriate area of the tax form as each tax line is assigned.
- Since the program pre-assigns many (or all) tax lines, you'll have a head start if you choose to post your balances to Tax.
- Click Finish review at any time to freeze your adjustments and balances and prevent further updates to your workspace.
