This article will help with importing scanned source documents using Lacerte Tax Import. To use Tax Import, you must first have the documents in PDF format. Then you can use Tax Import to send them to Intuit for processing. After a short processing delay (approximately 20 minutes), the data is returned ready to be reviewed and imported.
Lacerte Tax Import is sold separately. Visit here for pricing information.
