Intuit Announces Availability of Intuit Tax Online, Lacerte and ProSeries for Tax Year 2015
Today Intuit (News - Alert) Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU), announced the launch of its 2015
professional tax product line, including Intuit Tax Online, Lacerte and
ProSeries. Intuit aims to help tax professionals eliminate wasted time,
so they can focus on growing their practice and making a difference in
their clients' lives.
"We know that time - or the lack thereof - is the biggest challenge tax
professionals face during tax season," said CeCe Morken, executive vice
president and general manager at Intuit Professional Tax Group. "We
developed our 2015 tax product line up with that in mind, building
time-savings into each of our offerings to streamline workflows and help
tax professionals provide their clients with delightful experiences."
This year, Intuit Tax Online, Lacerte and ProSeries include:
Client Connection Suite: On average, tax professionals spend 65
percent of their time collecting and entering data. Client
Connection Suite works to cut that time in half by reducing the time
it takes to collect documents and client signatures, so that they can
spend time on what matters most - their clients.
-
Intuit Link: Advancing the traditional tax organizer by
automating and simplifying the client
document collection and data entry process for both tax
professionals and their clients, Intuit Link has reduced the cycle
time for completing a tax return significantly. Intuit Link
automatically connects to financial institutions and payroll providers
to securely collect data on behalf of the client. Clients can
also share tax data including document uploads, snapping pictures and
financial institution credentials for further ease and convenience.
Intuit Link integrates with Intuit Tax Online, Lacerte and ProSeries.
-
eSignature: eSignature cuts down the time it takes to collect
signatures from weeks to minutes, giving tax professionals much needed
time back during tax season. Now tax professionals can electronically
collect signatures for federal
form 8879 within Intuit Tax Online, Lacerte and ProSeries, giving
clients the ease and convenience they want. And new for Lacerte,
eSignature has been enhanced to allow tax professionals to request
client payment with the 8879 signature.
Client Benefit Suite: Tax professionals want to make a difference
in their clients' lives. By helping their clients avoid fees and giving
them greater piece of mind, Client Benefit Suite enables them to do this
and grow their practice.
-
Pay-by-Refund: In 2014, approximately 80 percent of federal tax
returns received refunds. Now tax professionals can streamline
receivables and better serve those clients that get refunds. Pay-by-Refund
allows clients to conveniently pay their tax preparation fees directly
from their refund, eliminating the time and headache of invoicing for
tax professionals and any out-of-pocket expenses for clients.
Pay-by-Refund is available in Intuit Tax Online, Lacerte and ProSeries.
-
American Express (News - Alert)® Serve: Clients want quick and easy
access to their refund. American Express® Serve is a Prepaid Debit
Account that offers quick and easy access to IRS Refunds. No waiting
for a check to come in the mail or fees for check cashing services - a
significant benefit for clients without a banking account. American
Express® Serve is available in Lacerte and ProSeries.

using ProSeries can now provide their clients an extra layer of
support in the event of an IRS audit or identity
