Tax returns on an account that has been flagged for audit are downloaded from the FTS system and transported into the Audit system. The audit is completed in the other system and the audited tax return data is replaced into FTS via a file upload process.

There are at least two ways to get to the View Filing History page, which is where an auditor will begin the audit download (and lock) process.

Click on the Select link in the Audit Queue on your FTS Home page. This opens the Filing History page for the account you linked from. From here you may download the tax returns to files and move them to the audit software system.

Alternately you can open the View Filing History page from any account and download files. If the account has not been flagged for audit however, no GA-30 numbers will have been assigned and this method is outside of the normal audit process.

When the audit is completed, it is time to migrate the audited tax returns back into the FTS system. We do this via a file upload process.
