TaxCA
Level 2

Thank you, Phoebe. That's what I was worried about.

 

I've definitely tried multiple routes, including the one you mentioned:

 

  • Scanned PDF -> OCR in Acrobat -> copy/paste into Excel for importing. --- time consuming to fix all the small mistakes, like data transposed in the wrong columns, etc.

 

  • Original PDF from tax software (no need to OCR) -> copy/paste into Excel. --- same as above.

 

  • PDF -> Adobe to convert the PDF into an Excel file --- This gives the worst results by far. Weird things happen, like 30 columns merged to make 1 column.

 

I pray to the accounting gods that Intuit reads this and creates some new tools to solve this!

 

"If it's any consolation, depreciation is just the worst" <--- I agree 100%!
