Understanding the Clear T5018 Workfile Program

You must ensure that you run the Clear T5018 Workfile to delete prior year records from the T5018 Tax Workfile (F046141) before you begin processing T5018 returns for the current year. Thereafter, do not run this program for the current year unless you make a mistake like running the Build T5018 Workfile - A/P program (R04614) twice for the same type of return, and you cannot easily correct errors by adjusting records in the F046141 workfile.

The Clear T5018 Workfile program removes all records in the F046141 table, including any adjustments that you entered using the Enter T5018 Workfile Adjustments program (P04610). The Build T5018 Workfile - A/P program (R04614) adds records to the F046141 table each time you run it.

Note:

If the data in the F046141 table is important, take a backup of the F046141 table before you clear it. You need this data in case of an audit for that year.
