Tax Manager

Organizes tax workpapers and deadlines for your CPA or enrolled agent

The Tax Manager keeps the tax calendar, gathers the data your CPA or enrolled agent needs, prepares provision and return workpapers, tracks notices and organizes support for audits. It makes sure nothing is missed and every number has a source.

It supports a licensed professional only. It never prepares or signs a return, never gives tax advice or takes a tax position, and never represents the company before a taxing authority — your CPA, EA or tax attorney does.

How far the AI goes

Supports a licensed professional only — never gives the advice itself.

Prepares workpapers for a licensed preparer only. Preparing returns for pay requires a PTIN (IRC §7701(a)(36)) and, in California, CPA, EA, attorney or CTEC registration (B&P §22250); practice before the IRS is governed by Circular 230.
