TaxBandits’ CPA Features Designed to Streamline the 2023 Tax Season

Master your tax season with the new CPA features and functionality from TaxBandits!

Tax season is by far the busiest time of year for CPAs and tax preparers, and it kicks off in just a few weeks with the business information returns due to the IRS on January 31st. This includes an array of payroll and employment tax forms such as the W-2, 1099s, 941, and 940, to name a few.

With TaxBandits, tax preparers can get a head start on a smooth and successful filing season. A big component of a smooth tax season is having a system in place to delegate and complete the required filings for your clients.

The TaxBandits application is designed to help tax preparers, CPAs, and tax professionals do this! Plus, we are always enhancing the tools included in every Tax Professional account for no additional cost or subscription.

Here is the round-up of all the new features, functionality, and technology upgrades that will help you master your clients’ tax season!

TaxBandits’ Client Portal –

The TaxBandits Client Portal is an exclusive feature that allows tax preparers to communicate with their clients securely and efficiently. As you know, the filing process requires the exchange of sensitive information with your clients, and TaxBandits allows you to enable a secure portal for each of your clients to share files safely.

The portal is customizable and can be tailored to your branding. In addition to sharing files securely, you and your clients can use the portal to create ‘Observations’. This tool allows you to communicate and share feedback, with the ability to respond and resolve these observations.

You also share copies of the forms that you create for clients. You can share in-progress forms before transmitting them, allowing your clients to review them, share feedback by creating observations, and share any files needed. After transmitting forms to the required agencies, you can also share copies of the final forms as needed.

Our team has implemented enhancements to the Portal’s user interface that allow for a more streamlined experience and additional customization options, including your dashboard, online access portal, and the email notifications your clients will receive.

TaxBandits Staff Management Tools

Our staff management tools empower you to delegate tasks to your team and provide them with the access needed to carry out their filing responsibilities. Like all other CPA features, Staff Management is included in every TaxBandits tax preparer account! There is no additional cost, no upgrade fees, and you can add an unlimited number of staff members.

To get started with this feature simply invite your staff members using their email addresses. They will be prompted to create their unique login. You will have the ability to assign them roles as needed and assign them to certain businesses. New for the 2023 tax year, you can even add them to groups of businesses as needed.
