Importing scanned source documents with ProSeries Scan and Import
by Intuit• Updated 6 months ago
Before you start:
- Intuit ProSeries has two methods of importing tax data; see Understanding the differences between Tax Import and Tax Scan and Import to review the differences.
- For best results scan documents at 300DPI in Black and White.
- This feature isn't available in ProSeries Basic.
- Make sure the PDF is saved to the computer and you know where it's saved.
- Jobs with large documents (200+ pages) aren't supported for data extraction and would need to be split into multiple jobs.
- To learn more, refer to ProSeries Data Import.
To begin the process:
- Open ProSeries to the Form 1040 Individual HomeBase View.
- Select the client.
- From the Import menu, select Tax Import, then Import Client Data from Scanned PDF.
- On the Import From Scanned PDF wizard select Continue.
- Use Browse to locate and select a PDF saved on your computer, or Browse from DMS if the PDF is saved in DMS.

- ProSeries will periodically check the status of your submission and update the Scan Source Documents column in the HomeBase view.
- You can continue working in ProSeries as normal while the submission is processed.
- Your client's submitted source documents may take between 15- 30 minutes but may also take up to 12 hours to process depending on volume.
