Don in Upstate NY Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 One problem that I've noticed in converting my 2007 OrrTax returns to 2007 TaxWise returns is in the Capital Loss carryovers. The conversion program picks up the carryover from the OrrTax Schedule D as a negative number, and inserts that into the TaxWise Schedule D. Unfortunately, TaxWise wants the carryover loss as a positive number, so putting a negative number into there makes it a carryover GAIN instead of a loss. The other thing that seem to get lost is the short vs long term designation for stocks with 'various' as a buy date. They seem to all come over as long term.

Iconverted from TaxSlayer to Taxwise. I will check these areas for possible corrections to my own conversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
