Description

Drake Tax is packed with an array of features designed to streamline the preparation and processing of tax returns for your clients efficiently. This allows you to concentrate on what matters most—engaging with clients and expanding your business. With Drake Tax, you can expedite every aspect of return preparation, ensuring that calculation results and a comprehensive view of the return are just a click away. You have the ability to mark items in any text field, checkbox, or tax form amount as verified, flagged for review, or noted for further examination. If any information for a confirmed item changes, the DoubleCheck feature will promptly flag it for review. In addition, shortcut keys and macros help to simplify the data entry process, significantly reducing the number of keystrokes required. The software facilitates an automatic flow of data from federal returns to state and city returns, while also providing options for overrides when necessary. State and city returns are generated on demand, and it automatically accounts for taxes paid to other jurisdictions. Furthermore, Drake Tax conveniently auto-fills information based on ZIP Code and EIN inputs, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in tax preparation. With all these features combined, Drake Tax becomes an invaluable tool for tax professionals aiming to optimize their workflow.

Description

We have struggled as tax accountants with the lack of software tools that allow us to do our jobs efficiently. It seemed that we had to choose between a complete CRM system to manage every aspect of our tax practice or a spreadsheet. The former is too much, while the latter is not enough. Multiple entities can be created for each client, with multiple returns per entity. All client information from one year to the next can be kept in one place. You can quickly find all client returns statuses in one place. Import your client's data from any software that can export to a.csv and then add the associated entities. You can create custom checklist templates to help you organize the various types of returns that your firm will file. Start tracking and adding tax returns for clients and their entities.
