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

Sidesheet transforms business tax returns into organized, multi-year financial documents tailored for business valuation experts, business brokers, and their respective firms. Users can upload Form 1120, 1120-S, or 1065 returns, whether scanned or e-filed, covering a single year or multiple years. The platform efficiently extracts relevant return lines, aligning years side by side, and connects each figure to the corresponding page of the return for easy verification. It identifies discrepancies among figures and provides explanations for these inconsistencies, allowing users to thoroughly review the results and conveniently export the data to Excel. Importantly, client returns remain confidential, as they are utilized solely for processing and storage within the United States, are inaccessible to other firms, and can be removed by the user at any time; additionally, two-step sign-in is activated by default to enhance security. Currently, the product is in its private beta phase, with pricing structured based on the number of returns processed rather than the number of users. This innovative solution not only streamlines the financial review process but also ensures a high degree of privacy and data protection for its clients.
