UltraTax Software

Assessment Details

The UltraTax Software evaluates candidates on their knowledge and practical application skills across the following categories:

  • Diagnostics & Error Correction: Once diagnostics populate, this topic covers interpreting UltraTax messages, tracing them to underlying inputs or options, and applying corrections that address root causes. Questions test prioritizing critical errors, rerunning checks, and avoiding overrides that obscure unresolved data issues.
  • Printing & Deliverables: Turning work into deliverables, this topic covers UltraTax print options, standard print sets, PDF assembly, and basic delivery steps. Questions test generating the correct package, confirming required forms are included, and avoiding draft or internal-only worksheets in client outputs.
  • Lead Review Controls: At the reviewer’s desk, this topic covers UltraTax review controls, standardization practices, and change tracking that support consistent outcomes. Questions test enforcing review gates, documenting key decisions, and identifying risky edits that require rework or escalation.
  • Multistate Dependency Checks: Managing complicated state stacks, this topic addresses UltraTax multi-state configuration and complex form dependencies that affect allocations, credits, and carryovers. Questions test spotting missing state data, broken dependencies, and inconsistencies between federal inputs and state outputs.
  • Extensions, Estimates, Payment Governance: To control filing logistics, this topic covers UltraTax governance for extensions, estimated taxes, and payment/voucher settings across jurisdictions. Questions test applying payments to correct periods, preventing duplicate vouchers, and verifying recalculated amounts after late return changes.
  • Configuration & Navigation: UltraTax navigation basics are covered here, including opening the correct client and year, moving among federal and state input areas, and using the input tree and indicators to find where work belongs. Questions test locating returns quickly and avoiding duplicate or misdirected data entry.
  • Client Setup: Creating a new client, this topic covers establishing the UltraTax client profile, choosing return type and year, and setting core return options that drive forms and state modules. Questions test entering identifiers accurately and avoiding misconfigurations that ripple downstream.
  • Organizer Screens: Entering common tax items, this topic addresses UltraTax input navigation for wages, interest/dividends, business income, itemized deductions, and common credits. Questions test selecting the right input areas, capturing required detail, and validating that entries flow to expected forms.
  • Electronic Filing: Preparing an e-file, this topic covers UltraTax prerequisites, e-file creation, transmission, and acknowledgement review. Questions test clearing blockers, distinguishing federal versus state acceptance, and deciding when a corrected return must be rebuilt and retransmitted.
  • Rejection Analysis: When rejects keep recurring, this topic focuses on UltraTax reject triage, pattern recognition, and building repeatable fixes for common acknowledgements. Questions test identifying root causes in inputs or options, validating the correction, and resubmitting without introducing new errors.

This test ensures candidates possess practical readiness to perform tasks efficiently with accuracy and compliance.

Once we started using MYCPE ONE Assessments, that changed

“We’re a 15-person CPA firm in Ohio, and for years, hiring felt like we were just hoping we picked the right person. Someone could interview great and then struggle once the busy season hits. Once we started using MYCPE ONE Assessments, that changed. Now, before I even meet a candidate, I’ve already seen how they handle real accounting and tax questions. It’s taken so much of the guesswork out of hiring. I don’t feel like I’m gambling on people anymore; I’m looking at actual skills.”

Mark Jensen, CPA

it’s always been hard for me to judge technical accounting skills

“As a non-CPA HR professional, it’s always been hard for me to judge technical accounting skills. MYCPE ONE made that part effortless. The reports are crystal clear, even for someone like me who doesn’t live in debits and credits. It’s given me so much more confidence in my recommendations, and our partners finally trust the shortlist I send them”

Emily Carter, SHRM-CP

With MYCPE ONE Assessments, it finally lined up

“We’d experimented with a couple of testing tools before, but they always felt like corporate HR add-ons, not something built for public accounting. The questions didn’t match what our staff actually works on day to day. With MYCPE ONE Assessments, it finally lined up. The scenarios look like real client work, trial balances, adjusting entries, tax situations, the kind of stuff our team deals with constantly. For the first time, I can look at a candidate’s result and say, ‘Okay, I know exactly where this person fits on our team.’”

Daniel Brooks, CPA, CMA

The AI proctoring in MYCPE ONE Assessments eased that concern

“We do a lot of remote hiring now, and one of our biggest concerns was: ‘Is this really their work?’ You just don’t know who’s sitting behind the screen. The AI proctoring in MYCPE ONE Assessments eased that concern. We can see the monitoring, we know they’re not getting help from someone else, and that gave us enough confidence to lean on the scores. That one feature made it a lot easier for us to embrace remote talent without constantly second-guessing the results”

Sarah Lopez, EA

We originally bought MYCPE ONE Assessments for screening new hires

“We originally bought MYCPE ONE Assessments for screening new hires, but we ended up using it with our existing staff too. Not to ‘catch’ anyone, but to see where people wanted to grow. The topic-wise breakdown helped us have better one-on-one conversations - ‘Do you want more exposure to tax research? More audit work? More QBO?’ It gave us a clean, objective way to talk about development. The team really appreciated that it was about giving them the right opportunities.”

Rachel Porter, CPA

I’m honestly surprised by how simple it is to use

“I’m honestly surprised by how simple it is to use. You sign up, assign a test, and within minutes, you have a complete analysis with AI-based integrity tracking. For $99, it’s a ridiculously good value, especially compared to what we used to pay for assessments that gave us half the insight.”

Jonathan Myers, MBA

We started using MYCPE ONE Assessments for our current team

“We started using MYCPE ONE Assessments for our current team as part of our professional development program, and it’s been incredibly helpful. The topic-wise breakdown showed us exactly where our staff needed strengthening, especially in audit documentation and SALT. Those insights helped us redesign our internal training, and we saw immediate improvement in review times.”

Lisa Green, CPA, EA

MYCPE ONE Assessments has become a great tool

“Our firm values continuous learning, and MYCPE ONE Assessments has become a great tool for that. We use it to understand where our team wants to grow next, whether that’s in tax research, QBO, or audit testing. The insights help us tailor training and give our staff the right opportunities. It’s been a positive addition to our development process.”

Michael Turner, CPA

We recently started using MYCPE ONE Assessments

“We recently started using MYCPE ONE Assessments as part of our yearly review and promotion cycle, and it’s been a great addition. It gives us a clear, role-aligned view of each team member’s technical strengths and the areas they’re interested in developing. It’s helped make our appraisal conversations more focused and fair, especially when someone is working toward a promotion or a new responsibility. The team appreciates having something concrete to look at, and it’s made planning their growth a lot easier for everyone.”

Karen Mitchell, CPA, CGMA
