If you also use CCH Personal Tax IE or CCH Corporation Tax IE, you can easily share data with those applications to avoid the need for re-keying. Click the Tax Link option on the CCH AP Task Bar. The screen then shows a number of tax related balances, which you can edit disallowable totals for.

Option to select Draft

When using the Tax Link function in AP to share data with either Personal Tax or Corporation Tax, the data created is marked automatically as Draft, unless the accounting period has been finalised. When creating the data, there is an option to set the draft flag manually. When selecting Export tax data, the following option will be displayed.

By default, if the accounting period has not yet been finalised, then the "Yes" option will be selected. You may amend the default selection only if they have permission. The permission for this is #Client #Tax Link Amend Draft.
