Running a business, especially a tax preparation business, can be daunting. Whether you’re a small office with a high volume of returns or a large service bureau with complex returns, or a combination of both, Taxware Systems is here to help.

Here are 5 ways we at Taxware Systems can help your business grow:

1. Reduce Cost

Many software vendors offer their software for free, but they will be making their money in other ways: bank products, e-File fees, support fees and fees in the fine print of your contract are just a few examples. Taxware Systems is proud to be one of the few, if not the only, tax software company that does not charge bank transmission, support, or any “other” fees. The money that you are spending to get other vendors’ software for free will go directly to you, the tax professional.

2. Reduce Time

Taxware’s intuitive dual entry software decreases the amount of time it takes to complete a tax return, but it doesn’t stop there. With a brand new client grid, live preview of forms and schedules and side by side Taxware Systems and IRS validation being tested in 2016, the improved software is bound to get returns done faster and get you on your way to doing things you want to do.

3. Sanity

January through April is a crazy time for us in the tax industry. That’s why we at Taxware Systems have knowledgeable, confident technical support to help you answer questions on your toughest returns. You will not be waiting hours on the phone to get a live person; even our sales representatives are trained in technical support for greater customer satisfaction.

4. Security

Taxware Systems has been in business since 1979, and has never bought or sold to another tax software company. We are based in southern California, and even as our name spreads across the United States, we do not rely on overseas support to help our clients. We have one-on-one relationships with our clients and make sure that everyone is informed and up-to-date.

5. Ease of Use

Taxware Systems prides itself on a fast, user-friendly software. The software walks you through the beginning of a tax return all the way through e-filing and printing. Networking? Not a problem. Our staff can help you choose the best option for your needs. We also have free training and online tutorials to get your office up and running for the tax season and beyond.

Here at Taxware Systems, we want to help you finish your toughest returns quickly. To do that, we went straight to the source, our great tech support crew, to get your questions answered.

Q: How do I get acknowledgements?

A: Using the A2A system, acknowledgements can be retrieved using Get Acks from the Individual Tax Menu. After selecting Get Acks, the program will connect to the A2A server and download the acknowledgements. At this point you will be prompted by the program to print the acknowledgements. *For step by step instructions regarding IFA acknowledgements, please see the e-File tutorial found here: http://www.taxwaresystems.com/videos.html.

Q: How do I reprint acknowledgements?

A: You can reprint acknowledgements from the ELF Tracker. Once the Tracking Report is open, select the client whose acknowledgement you would like to reprint. The client’s detailed e-File information will be displayed on the right hand side, under the Expanded Information heading. Select the Fed Ack Name field. A button will appear on the right hand side of the field. Clicking the button will present a prompt to reprint the acknowledgement. The process is the same for state acknowledgements, except you will select the corresponding State Ack Name field.

Q: Where can I see the status of my e-Filed return?

A: We recommend always using the ELF Tracker on the Individual Tax Main Menu to track the status of your e-Filed returns.

Q: Where did my data go?

A: Check your data path in Data Folder on the Individual Tax Main Menu to ensure you have the correct data path. We recommend that you keep the default data paths that are already set up in the program, but if you are networking or have changed them, make sure to talk to your network administrator to find out what data path you are using.

Q: What does this rejection mean?

A: Go to the Summary Menu in the Individual Tax program and Validity Checks. If the indicator is red, it means that the return is likely to reject because of errors in places like basic information. If the indicator is yellow, it means that there are warnings that you should probably look into, but may not be immediately rejected, such as missing preparer information or missing state information.

Double click on the error that you see in the list and you will be directed to the form or schedule where the error was found. Once the error is fixed, it will disappear from the list in the Summary Menu. Continue down the list until your validity indicator is green. Once the indicator is green, the software has not detected any further errors.
