Access window for older ProFile returns
by Intuit• Updated 7 months ago
A ProFile installation or update now only includes modules for the current year and the previous 12 years.
The 12-year access window will roll forward with each subsequent year, limiting access to the most recent 12-year period only. As an example, in tax year 2020 installation included 2008 modules. With the move to tax year 2021, the earliest included module year was 2009.
Why did this change happen?
Limiting available returns and files to the last 12 years will help improve the performance of ProFile, while still serving the needs of the majority of users.
When did this take effect?
The change began with the ProFile 2020.1 release, limiting module usage to 2008 and later. With the 2021.1 release this would roll forward to 2009 and later. Every year this window rolls forward.
What do I do if I need to access older files?
Intuit has a free add-on available for ProFile called the Module Manager that can be downloaded here. Running this utility will install older modules in ProFile.
