# K1 Aggregator Rollover: What Carries Forward, What Doesn’t, and How to Configure It

## This page explains rollover behavior (what carries forward vs. doesn’t), optional rollover items, and Group Management requirements.

Rollover helps you start a new tax year by carrying forward select configuration and reference data from a prior-year Instance into a new-year Instance. This page is the authoritative reference for what rolls forward, what doesn’t, and which items are optional.

**Need help configuring rollover or running it?**

- To configure optional rollover items (Return ID, Comments, Notes, Estimates), see [K1 Aggregator Rollover Settings](https://support.k1x.io/k1-aggregator-rollover-settings?hsLang=en-us).
- To run rollover and validate results, see [How to Run Rollover to a New Tax Year Instance](https://support.k1x.io/how-to-run-rollover-to-a-new-tax-year-instance-checklist-validation-steps?hsLang=en-us).
- If your organization uses Groups, review [Group Management Feature](https://support.k1x.io/k1-aggregator-group-management-feature?hsLang=en-us) to assign new-year Instances and users.

**Note:** This article explains rollover behavior and expected outcomes. It does not walk through the rollover workflow step-by-step.

**IMPORTANT:** Rollover for 990 Tracker-linked K1 Aggregator instances is managed from 990 Tracker.

---

### **Quick Start: Rollover in 3 Minutes**

Use this quick guide if you need fast answers before running rollover.

#### **1) What does rollover do?**

Rollover carries forward **selected Instance and Investment configuration** from a prior-year Instance into a new-year Instance.

✅ **Carries forward:** investment reference data, tags, basis tracking configuration, activities, settings, and certain foreign forms/transferee setup (depending on configuration).  
❌ **Does not carry forward:** uploaded K-1 PDFs, extracted values, annotated PDFs, exports, or reports.

#### **2) What can I choose to roll forward (optional items)?**

Some items only roll forward if they’re configured in the **prior-year Instance**:

- **Return ID** (Instance Dashboard → Update Instance)
- **Investment Comments** (Manage Investments → Investment Information panel)
- **Investment Notes** (Manage Investments → Manage Notes modal)
- **Final K-1 issuer flag** (“Issued a final K-1…”) (Manage Investments → General Information)
- **Federal K-1 Total Amount → New Tax Year Estimate column** (Settings → Rollover Settings)

#### **3) Important: Group Management does not roll forward**

Group Management is a **tenant-level feature**, but **group-to-instance assignments do not automatically carry forward**.

After rollover (or after creating a new-year Instance), admins must:

1. Open **Tenant Group Management**
2. Confirm users are in the correct groups
3. Assign the **new-year Instance(s)** to the correct group(s)
4. Confirm any required **7216 consent** settings (if offshore access is needed)

#### **4) What should I verify after rollover?**

After rollover, confirm:

- Investments exist and look correct (name, tags, ownership, basis tracking, activities)
- Optional items appear only if configured (Return ID, Comments, Notes, Estimate column)
- New-year Instances are assigned to Groups (if Group Management is enabled)
- Your team can access the new-year Instance(s)

### End Quick Start

---

#### **How rollover works (Tenant → Instance → Investments)**

K1 Aggregator is structured as:

✅ **Tenant**  
→ ✅ **Instance** (client tax-year workspace + settings)  
→ → ✅ **Investments** (records within an instance)

Rollover carries forward select configuration and reference data at the **Instance and Investment levels**. The tenant (parent) does **not** control rollover inclusion.

---

#### **When to use this article**

Use this article when you need to:

- confirm what rollover includes and excludes,
- understand optional vs default rollover items,
- know where rollover is managed (Instance + Investment levels),
- or understand how Group Management affects access to a new-year Instance.

---

### What rollover carries forward (high-level)

Rollover carries forward configuration and reference data that supports year-over-year setup and continuity.

✅ Typically carries forward:

- Instance configuration and settings
- Investment reference data and metadata
- Tags and ownership structure
- Basis tracking configuration and activities
- Certain portfolio/foreign forms reference data (as configured)

---

### What rollover does *not* carry forward

Rollover does not duplicate completed tax-year work product.

❌ Does not carry forward:

- uploaded K-1 PDFs or other source documents
- extracted K-1 values / line items
- annotated PDFs
- export files or report outputs

---

### Optional rollover items (configured in the prior-year Instance)

Some data only rolls forward if it’s explicitly configured in the prior-year Instance before rollover runs. Common optional rollover items include:

- **Return ID**
- **Investment Comments**
- **Investment Notes**
- **Final K-1 issuer flag** (“Issued a final K-1…”)
- **Federal K-1 Total Amount → New Tax Year Estimate column**

> For UI locations and setup steps, see **K1 Aggregator Rollover Settings (Optional Items + Where to Configure Them)**.

### Rollover Settings Detail Matrix

### What carries forward matrix (Default vs Optional vs Never)

> **Tip:** Use this table to verify expected rollover outcomes.

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Instance configuration/settings | Instance | ✅ Yes | Default | Core instance settings carry forward. |
| Return ID | Instance | ✅ Yes | Optional | Must be configured in the prior-year Instance. |
| Investment name | Investment | ✅ Yes | Default | Rolled forward as part of investment data. |

### End Matrix

### Group Management and rollover (Important)

Group Management is a **tenant-level feature** that controls which users can access which Instances. Even when Group Management is enabled, **group configuration and group-to-instance assignments do not roll forward**.

After rollover (or after creating a new-year Instance), administrators must:

1. open **Tenant Group Management**
2. confirm users are assigned to the correct groups
3. assign the **new-year Instance(s)** to the correct group(s)
4. confirm any required **7216 consent** settings (if offshore access is needed)

> For details, see **K1 Aggregator Group Management Feature**.

---

### Post-rollover expectations (what “success” looks like)

After rollover, you should expect:

✅ A new-year Instance with:

- investment list present
- tags, ownership, basis tracking, and activities carried forward
- optional items present only when configured (Return ID, comments, notes, estimate column)

✅ If Group Management is enabled:

- the new-year Instance must be assigned to the correct group(s) before end users can access it

---

### FAQ

### Does rollover copy uploaded K-1 PDFs?

No. Uploaded documents do not roll forward into the new-year Instance.

### Does rollover copy extracted values, annotated PDFs, or exports?

No. Extracted results and generated outputs do not roll forward.

### Where do I configure optional rollover items?

Optional rollover items must be configured in the **prior-year Instance**. See **K1 Aggregator Rollover Settings (Optional Items + Where to Configure Them)**.

### Why can’t some users see the new-year Instance after rollover?

If Group Management is enabled, the new-year Instance must be assigned to the appropriate group(s), and users must be in those groups.

### End FAQ

**IMPORTANT:** Rollover for 990 Tracker-linked K1 Aggregator instances is managed from 990 Tracker.
