Review Function
I can see this has been raised a couple of times by others but subsequently declined however, it would be useful from a reviewer perspective to be able to mark individual lines within a schedule as reviewed, in the same way as you can mark individual lines as complete, as opposed to having to lock the whole schedule.
I can see that a previous response from WK has been that the assumption is that full data has been entered and so marking the whole schedule as complete is sufficient. However, I would argue that it is not sufficient as although…

Validating Tax Returns only once attachments have been added
When preparing a return for submission, the 'auto-refresh' feature of validation should be disabled or made optional. As it stands, validation occurs every time an attachment is added. A better approach would be to have a button that initiates validation only upon completion, which could save considerable time.

Bulk update tax return status
There is no way to bulk update the tax return status bar. As there are some reports which only pick up tax returns with a certain status showing in the status bar, it would be useful to be able to bulk update this.

CCH Tax Modules that automatically spot opportunity for tax advice based off user data
Would you value an add on to CCH tax modules that automatically spots opportunities for you to advise your clients on where they can make savings on tax. This would allow you and your firm to either begin to offer tax planning and advisory, or streamline and simply our current tax planning/advisory offering.

Foreign Tax Credit Relief
It would be useful for the software to restrict the foreign tax entered down to the treaty rate. At present there is no restriction applied by the software so you have to manually restrict in order to get the correct result.

Foreign AIS on schedules
I'm not sure if others experience this issue but when entering accrued income allowances on the foreign pages of a personal return, these simply show as interest on the schedules which can be confusing to clients.
For example, I have a client who has interest of £22.50 and accrued income allowance of £14.42. On the schedules both figures appear to be positive so it looks as though they show £22.50 + £14.42 = £8.08.
The actual return is correct, but if the schedules could indicate which items are allowances and that they are a deduction it would be clearer for…

Tax Bundle to auto assign to the year you are doing to document centre
Tax Return Bundle when you publish to Document Management could it have the year you are completing set to automatically assign and file the job in that year - as at the moment it goes striaght to none and then you have to go into properties and move it to the year you are doing which is time consuming and fustrating

Property expenses
It would be useful to be able to enter expenses for a property for comparative purposes and then be able to choose between the actual expenses and the £1k property income allowance.
Additionally, it is not possible to enter unused finance costs brought forward into the software when you are claiming the property allowance. Where we are claiming the property allowance and carrying forward unused finance costs, we therefore have to make a manual note of the amounts to carry forward. We should be able to record this in the relevant box to carry forward to the next tax year.

Pension contributions
The annual allowance tracker in the pension savings tax charges tab does not take into account entries in the pension contributions tab in the 'amount saved' box. You therefore have to enter the amount of the contribution in both the pension contributions tab and the pension savings tax charges tab. It would be useful if the annual allowance tracker was updated when posting pension contributions.

FTSE 350 data feed
calculating DRIP/SCRIP dividends using the FTSE data feed does not automatically calculate the amount of shares purchased from each dividend. You therefore have to calculate this manually and then update each dividend with the new number of shares. Additionally, once you have calculated the number of shares and detailed them in the data feed, and posted the dividends, if you go back into the data feed to update/post anything else, the shareholding amounts reset to their original values.
It would be helpful if the data feed tracked DRIP and SCRIP dividends so that we did not have to calculate them…

tax payments/repayments
Every schedule except tax payments/repayments has tick boxes for when the schedule has been reviewed, which locks the schedule. It would be good to have this for this schedule also.

Tax Return information request
Please can the ability to pull through tax deducted at source on employment/pension income be added to the information request template so that it can be displayed separately?
Additionally, there does not seem to be the option to pull through totals for expenditure categories from business tax. The functionality is there for rental property expenditure categories, so could it be added similarly for business tax?

Online filing errors
If there is an error with the return which stops you from being able to validate the return to IR mark it, it would be useful if the error description was always linked in such a way that clicking on the error message would take you to the relevant screen where the issue lies. Some of the error messages are not easy to understand so this would save time hunting for the error. At the moment some of the tax return box numbers referred to in the error message are linked, but you are not always taken to a relevant…

Pension Savings Tax Charges
Editing the annual allowance tracker in this data entry screen causes the additional information pages to be printed, even when no pension contributions are made, so the additional info pages are blank. It would be useful to be able to get rid of these pages.
In addition, the description on the pension savings tax charge schedule reads "amount saved this year in excess of annual allowance" - even when this is not the case, and the amount saved does not exceed the annual allowance. It would be good to have this description updated.

Farmer's Averaging Calculation
Where prior year figures need to be manually entered or overridden in regards to adjustments for averaging (due to information not being in CCH or CCH picking up the wrong figures) the averaging adjustment is not calculated correctly. Original tax position and revised tax position figures don’t agree back to prior year figures or manually calculated figures.
Also for Farmers Averaging there is currently no link between the figures calculated in CCH and the relevant tax return boxes. It would be useful for boxes 14 and 15 on the ‘Tax payments / repayments’ section to be populated with the relevant…

Editing the information request template
It is very tricky to edit the information request templates and they are very easy to break. It would be useful to have the facility to be able to add the additional information we want, such as breakdowns of property expenses and employment income/PAYE deducted, ourselves, and to be able to make this conditional like the boxes already present (i.e. they only appear on the information request for each client if they have that relevant source of income). It is currently not easy to understand how the conditional formatting works in the template or to replicate this, but if we…

Cessation dates outside of the tax year
It is not possible to enter a cessation date which is outside of the tax year - for example, for a fixed term bond for which we know the date of maturity. It would be useful to be able to enter this.

Changing a property from an FHL to a regular let property
It is not possible to change the status of a property from FHL to regular rental and vice versa, so you have to delete the property record and start again if you want to change over. It would be good to be able to simply switch the property type.

Link clients who are not spouses
When trying to share the rental income and expenses in CCH with clients, it only has the option to link another client who is a spouse. It would be helpful to be able to link clients who are not spouses - e.g. siblings.
