Clone a Study to next year

Start next year's Study from a finished one, then compare the two with Change Analysis.

Who does this: Preparer. You are the assigned Preparer on the source Study. A Finalized or Delivered Study clones in one step. A Superseded Study clones through a dialog, where Recommended source appears.

Steps

  1. Open the Finalized or Delivered Study and select Clone to next year. TracePrep creates a Draft Study for the next tax year.
  2. On a Superseded Study, Clone to next year opens a dialog. Under Recommended source, select Clone from the superseding Study to continue from the current version.
  3. To clone from the Superseded Study instead, confirm the override, enter a Recorded reason, and select Continue from this Superseded Study.
  4. In the new Study, select View Change Analysis. The Change Analysis page compares intake, figures and evidence sources with the Study it was cloned from.
