Form 9325, Acknowledgement and General Information for Taxpayers Who File Returns Electronically, is based on the status of the client's return at the time Form 9325 is printed, not the status of the electronic file that was last accepted. We recommend creating a copy of the return before you enter amended information, and saving the original client return.

Form 1065X isn't included in the electronic file and shouldn't be attached as a PDF. Instead, enter the reasons for amending the return in the 1065 screen and complete the data for Form 8082 as required in the Non Calculating folder. UltraTax CS marks Form 1065, Page 1, item G(5), and includes the reason for amending the return in the electronic file. See IRS Publication 4163, Part III for more information about filing an amended partnership return.

When UltraTax CS creates electronic files, the application automatically deletes any previously created, untransmitted electronic files for a client.
