I am looking to export our 2017 Trial Balance to CSV format so I can use it for our corporate tax return; however, the export data function seems to be extremely tedious and I am not even sure how I would go about, or if I can, getting this information exported.  Has anybody else had to export their financial information for this purpose and can it be done?

You have Evo-ERP, you should be using it to take advantage of the additional features such as report to Excel.

Modify the RTM to the format you want and Save As a different name and use that RTM when you want to go to Excel.
