What to upload
Upload everything the client sent, as it came. Lunar Papers identifies each document, renames it, splits combined scans and files it into your folder tree.
- Include the prior-year return (PDF). It drives carryforwards, prior-year comparisons and the list of payers to expect.
- Accepted files: PDF, Excel (.xlsx, .xlsm, .xls), CSV, Word (.docx, .doc), images (PNG, JPG, WEBP, HEIC, TIFF), text, email files (.eml, .msg) and zip files. You can drag a whole folder from Finder or File Explorer.
- Limits: up to 80 MB per file and 400 MB per zip.
- Phone photos are fine, even sideways. Duplicates and junk (receipts, marketing mail) are set aside as Not used and kept in 00. Originals.
- Account numbers are masked to the last four digits in the organized copies.
