I have transferred a large number of clients from TaxAct to Proseries. I tried to do this data conversion in Proseries 2017, but it directed me to use 2018 instead, and when I did it created 2018 individual files for each client (.18i). Fine as far as that goes, but I will need to send organizers for all these clients, and there seems to be no way to transfer them back from 18i to 18o. Is there any workaround for this? Any way I can still use the 2017 program for data conversion? Thanks much!

The tax data conversion process creates tax year 2017 files to transfer into the 2018 program, so this is correct.
To transfer the files into Organizer:
- Go to the File menu, scroll to Transfer and click on Transfer Clients...
- In Step 1 (of the Transfer screen), change the 'type of file to transfer' to "2017 Form 1040 to 2018 Organizer."
- Change the data path in Step 2 to "C:\ProWin18\CompConversion."
- By default, the directory is set to \18Data, this is correct.
- Click "Select All" in Step 4.
- Click "Begin Transfer" in Step 5.

I believe you will want to import them from TaxAct for 2017 and clean up the errors, as there are normally numerous errors. Then transfer to 2018. That was what I had to do when I purchased a preparer who us another program.
