Tax Consolidations Specific Features

 
 

Easy-to-Use Wizard

 
 

 

Need to consolidate? No problem! Create a SINGLE consolidated data file, tell us which companies to include, and the Wizard will do the rest for you. We automatically separate out your companies into different subgroups and create the Non-Life, Life and Life-Non-Life Consolidations for you. We even alert you if any members are out of balance. It just couldn’t get any easier!

 
     
 

Detailed Consolidated Schedules, Eliminations & Adjustments

 
 

 

You can’t beat the detail of our Consolidated Schedules, which show each member’s figures for each line of the return along with separate columns for Combined, Elimination & Adjustments & Consolidated data. This approach truly eliminates the need to create separate temporary dummy data files just to hold your eliminations and adjustments. Imagine the time and resources that this feature alone can save you, eliminating the need to keep track of several unnecessary files. Simply enter all your eliminations and adjustments directly onto a designated column of your Consolidated Schedules and watch them flow to your tax returns along with the appropriate automatic M1 adjustments made for you.

 
     
 

Tax Limitations

 
 

 

Consolidating companies with Capital Gains and Losses? We’ve got you covered again. The
Schedule D consolidates as if it were another page of the main return. In general, we back out or reverse the subsidiary Capital Gains (Losses) or the combined figures and then re-compute them on a consolidated basis. We follow a similar process for Dividends Received Deductions, Charitable Contributions and so many other items.

 
     
 

Override Flexibility

 
 

 

When you’re consolidating, you want to consolidate what is on the return, so that is just what we do. Even if you simply type your figures on the returns, that is what will appear on your consolidations! To make it easier, you can even override amounts on the Consolidated Schedules and watch the override flow forward. No need to re-consolidate.

 
     
 

Life/Non-Life

 
 

 

Just because we can accomplish all your detailed consolidations by using only a single data file, does not mean that you miss out on any details. In fact, the same single file produces detailed consolidated schedules for your C-Corps, P&C companies, Non-Life, Life and even Life-Non-Life subgroups along with detailed Consolidated Carryover Schedules and Subgroup Returns from the lowest level all the way up to the top Parent return. The Consolidations Module of CORPORATE Pro is one of many features that have made us stand taller than the rest.
