COMING SOON! Import GIFI from Xero

Updated: 2021-03-19

Link TaxCycle with Xero to seamlessly import General Index of Financial Information (GIFI) information into corporate and partnership returns.

To use this feature, you must have a current subscription to Xero.

1. Open the TaxCycle T2 or T5013 file into which you will import the GIFI data.
2. Go to the Data menu, click GIFI Import and select Import Xero GIFI Data.
   
3. TaxCycle will launch a browser to connect with Xero. If prompted, log into your Xero account.
4. The first time you connect from TaxCycle, Xero will ask you to confirm that you wish to allow TaxCycle access to the data in your Xero account. Click Allow access to grant permission.
   
5. Once you see a message in your browser confirming that TaxCycle has successfully connected to Xero, you can close your browser window.
6. TaxCycle attempts to match the open TaxCycle file with a business in your Xero account.
7. If you have access to more than one business through your Xero account, you can search for the business by name. TaxCycle automatically populates the Search box with the corporation's name from the tax return.
8. Click the name of the company you want.
