Return to Provision

There is a section of Global Access which is used for both storing return information, as well as computing return true-ups. The prior year's provision data is pre-populated in the first column. Users must verify that the pre-populated data accurately represents the prior year's provision. In addition, users must populate the return column to reflect the locally filed tax return. The program will automatically calculate the true-ups. These amounts are then automatically posted to the current dataset/provision once the appropriate user has signed off on the unit or the program is configured to have the Post RTP button. In order to view this page, the page must be selected in Manage User Permissions.

•	In order to use this functionality, an administrator has to assign a dataset as a return dataset by using the column type, retprov, in ONESOURCE Tax Provision. For more information, refer to the Administration section.

•

There are only five sections in a Return to Provision dataset: Unit Data, Income Tax Rates, Return to Provision, Questionnaire, and Sign-Off. Similar to the provision dataset, the program uses a wizard-like approach for the input of data. Information is entered in a step-by-step manner to guide users through the process. Next and Previous links help to navigate through the program. In addition, the navigator menu, is available on the left side of each page, with the current work area highlighted in grey.

•	On the top of each data entry page, there is Unit-Dataset combination information. Be sure to review this information before entering the data. Users can access other units by selecting a unit from the drop-down list available on the left side of each page.
