Frequently Asked Questions

What type of engagements does Workpapers support?

Workpapers is best suited for compilation/notice to reader engagements. That’s because some of the higher level assurance engagements (review/audit) need extra schedules, notes, and or compliance items that exist outside the QuickBooks Online Accountant ecosystem. While CaseWare might be better suited for review and audit engagements, the streamlined cloud-based ecosystem of QuickBooks Online Accountant Workpapers allows for everything to be in one place.

Does Workpapers only work with Pro Tax?

With Workpapers, you can easily review and re-assign GIFI tax codes. When you’re ready, you can export a standard GIFI file to Pro Tax, ProFile, Excel or any other tax software.
