Connecting Lacerte or ProSeries to SmartVault

SmartVault integrates Intuit's Lacerte or ProSeries tax applications and appears as a print destination in your Intuit product. You must grant SmartVault access to Lacerte and/or ProSeries to connect them. SmartVault has read-only access to your Lacerte or ProSeries client data.

  Note

SmartVault supports Intuit Lacerte and ProSeries 2013 and later versions. SmartVault does not support the Intuit ProSeries Basic tax application.

Troubleshooting: No Grant Access Window

In some cases, the Grant Access window might not appear due to several reasons:

  • Previous Integration: If you've already integrated Lacerte/ProSeries with SmartVault, check this by navigating to User Settings > Extensions. You should see a checkmark next to the Lacerte/ProSeries year you are trying to integrate.
