TCS 297F Report

Last Updated December 9, 2015

The TCS 297F can be run to verify that the amounts on the TC298 match what was loaded in TaxLedge. Only those units having a checkmark in the Disburse through TaxLedge box in the Tax Unit Maintenance screen in the Tax Collection system will be displayed on this report.

Users must be assigned theGLTAXLEDGE_FOUNDATION role and the user entitlements TAXLEDGE_REPORTS and GLRPTTCS297F in the Tax Collection System to run this report. The client preference (set by ACT) RETURN_DIR should be set to the tax office FTP directory if you want the Detail option's pdf files to be sent to that directory.

Consider the following information when balancing the two reports.

TC298 equals... TC297F when... Client Preference in Tax Collection System
Grand total for Total Collections (Levy Paid + Penalty Interest + Fees + TIF) Grand Totals (Attorney + TIF Levy + TIF Penalty/Interest + Fees/Refund + Disburse Total) n/a
TC298D Grand Total Grand Total n/a
TC298R Total for rendition unit(s) Disburse Total for rendition unit(s) RENDITION_CONTROL = TAXUNIT (no amounts have ever been embedded)
TC298X4 Appraisal Commission total + TC298R 'Rendition Penalty & PI' total for the rendition unit(s) Disburse Total for rendition unit(s)   RENDITION_CONTROL = EMBED
TC298D Disburse Total - TC298X4 Appraisal Commission (for regular tax units) Disburse Total for regular tax units (non-rendition units) TL_COMBINE = Y
(TC298D Disburse Total + TC298R Rendition Penalty & PI) - TC298X4 Appraisal Commission (for regular tax units) Disburse Total for regular tax units (non-rendition units) TL_COMBINE = N
TC298E Jurisdiction Total - TC298X4 Appraisal Commission total (for regular tax units) Total (in the Penalty/Interest column) RENDITION_CONTROL = EMBED

The table above is reworded below:

The Grand Totals on the 297F report [Attorney + TIF Levy + TIF Penalty/Interest + Fees/Refund + Disburse Total (the disburse total is Current Year Total + Prior Year Total)] will equal the Distribution Summary and Detail reports' grand total for Total Collections (Levy Paid + Penalty Interest + Fees + TIF).  The Grand Total on the 297F matches the total on the 298D.

The Disburse Total for the rendition unit(s) (for ex., 1095) matches the total for the same unit(s) on the 298R if in the Tax Collection System, the RENDITION_CONTROL client preference is set to TAXUNIT and no amounts have ever been 'embedded'.

If the preference is set to EMBED, the Disburse Total for the rendition unit(s) is the sum of the Appraisal Commission total on the TC298X4 and the total of the Rendition Penalty & PI column for the rendition unit(s) on the TC298R totals page.

If in TCS, the TL_COMBINE client preference is set to Y (to split), the Disburse Total column for the regular tax units is the Disburse Total on the 298D minus the Appraisal Commission amount on the TC298X4.

If in TCS, the TL_COMBINE client preference is set to N (to combine), the Disburse Total column for the regular tax units is the Disburse Total on the 298D plus the Rendition Penalty & PI unit total on the TC298R (if any), minus the Appraisal Commission amount on the TC298X4.
