Speed Processing

AI pre-fills client data from uploaded documents, cutting data entry time by up to 70%. Your preparers handle more returns per day without sacrificing accuracy.

Automatically reads W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, and other forms. Extracted data is validated and mapped to the correct fields in your tax software.

Prior Year Comparison

Data Validation

Catches common errors before preparation begins: mismatched SSNs, duplicate EINs, incorrect dependent ages, and missing signatures.

Queue multiple returns for processing simultaneously. AI organizes and routes returns to the right preparer based on complexity and specialization.
