Before Rollover
Configure and save these items in the prior-year Instance before rollover is initiated.
Optional rollover items that can be configured in the Instance you wish to rollover
Return ID
Where: Instance Dashboard → Update Instance
Why it matters: If your team uses Return IDs for organization or downstream workflows, confirm it is set in the prior-year Instance before rollover.

Investment Comments
Where: Manage Investments → Investment Information panel
Why it matters: Investment comments are optional and will only carry forward if they exist in the prior-year Instance.

Investment Notes
Where: Manage Investments → Investment Information panel → Manage Notes modal
Why it matters: Notes must be created/saved in the prior-year Instance to carry forward.

Final K-1 issuer flag (prior-year “Final K-1” designation)
Where: Manage Investments → General Information
Why it matters: Set this flag on investments that issued a final K-1 in the prior tax year (if your workflow relies on identifying final issuers).

Federal K-1 Total Amount → New Tax Year Estimate column
Where: Settings → Rollover Settings
Why it matters: This controls whether prior-year Federal K-1 totals populate as a new-year estimate in the next tax-year Instance.

Troubleshooting (if an optional item didn’t carry forward)
If an optional rollover item didn’t carry forward:
-
confirm it was set in the prior-year Instance (not the new-year Instance),
-
confirm the value was saved before rollover ran,
-
and confirm rollover was run from the intended prior-year Instance.
