Year-End Rollforward

Carries forward static client data into the new tax year while resetting year-specific statuses — the same logic originally worked out for the Firm Management Workbook, now built into the platform.

2025
Source Year
2026
Target Year

What carries forward

Static reference data — preserved exactly as-is.

Client contact info, address, and entity detailsCarries forward
Staff assignments (accountant, bookkeeper, payroll administrator)Carries forward
Payment method and formation infoCarries forward
Owners, Employees, and Contacts recordsCarries forward
Historical notes and prior-year document checklist historyCarries forward

What resets to default

Year-specific statuses — cleared so 2026 starts from a clean slate.

All individual & entity tax return statuses → Not StartedResets
All monthly bookkeeping statuses (Jan–Dec)Resets
All payroll and sales tax period statusesResets
Document checklist receipt status (current-year documents only)Resets
⚠ This action affects all active clients and cannot be undone once confirmed. Inactive clients keep their Out Date and are not included.
