The Tax Practice of AAFCPAs is excited to introduce new IT solutions and process improvements that will add efficiency and ease to your client experience for the 2019 tax return filing season.
TaxCaddy is a secure application that will allow you to easily collect, store, and retrieve your tax documents. AAFCPAs successfully introduced TaxCaddy for the 2018 tax return filing season and our early adopters appreciate how the tool makes it easy to organize and fulfill document requests.
TaxCaddy makes gathering tax documents and sharing them with your AAFCPAs tax professional a breeze. Let TaxCaddy retrieve your 1099s, 1098s and W-2s automatically. Upload or snap photos of your tax documents year-round and store them with bank vault security. Electronically sign your tax documents from anywhere. No unnecessary office visits. No more paper organizers. Now with the interface of SafeSend Returns™ and TaxCaddy for estimated payment reminders, there are even more features to benefit from.
TaxCaddy is available for individual (1040) taxpayers.
AAFCPAs continues to move from a paper tax package delivery process to a more automated and efficient electronic delivery process. In addition to secure email, portal, and e-Sign applications, we are now introducing SafeSend Returns™, which will deliver and present your tax package in an electronic, intuitive, logical, step-by-step process. It will feel as if we are there, holding your hand the whole way while deftly affording you the ability to complete everything on any device, from anywhere in the world.
When your return is assembled through SafeSend Returns™, all return payments due, refunds to be received, and estimated payments will be summarized for you. If you also utilize TaxCaddy for your individual tax return, the estimates will populate in TaxCaddy and send you convenient reminders when they are due.
AAFCPAs will utilize SafeSend Returns™ for electronic delivery and e-file authorization form signing of tax returns for all individual, trust, corporate and partnership filers, with the exception of nonprofits.
SignatureFlow is complementary to SafeSend Returns™ and allows AAFCPAs’ clients to easily sign documents from anywhere, anytime via an internet accessible PC or mobile device.
All clients may use SignatureFlow to sign Engagement Letters and other PDF documents.
You will receive an email from: echosign@echosign.com notifying you your documents are ready for eSignature.
In an effort to simplify the billing process, AAFCPAs will send an invoice in January that will reflect 50% of our quoted or estimated fees. This invoice is payable upon signing and returning your engagement letter. The balance will be invoiced when your return is extended or completed, whichever is earlier.
AAFCPAs now offers three quick, easy, and secure online payment options available for your convenience. Visit https://aafcpa.com/client-portal/ to access our Electronic Funds Transfer, Credit Card, or Payment Plan options.
These added enhancements are designed to simplify your tax season. As always, we are available to help you map out a tax plan that takes full advantage of all strategies available to you.
If you have any questions please contact your AAFCPAs Tax Partner, or clientrelations@aafcpa.com.
