Tax filing

Reduce friction, user input errors, and document processing with tax forms pulled directly from the source. No need for users to upload their documents or manually input each box. Our product will allow tax preparation services to more quickly and confidently prepare a user’s tax return.

Tax estimation

Use the most recent year's tax form to help users estimate their upcoming tax payments for their 1099 job(s) to avoid IRS penalties. With many users picking up gig work as full time or part time jobs, one common mistake is not making quarterly payments for taxes.

Tax withholdings optimization

Help users optimize their tax withholdings to give them more money throughout the year vs a large refund after filing a return. Tax forms provide specific details on how much a user has paid in taxes throughout the year and can be used as part of a larger decisioning engine to determine optimal W-4 configurations. We make it easy for consumers to deposit their refunds right into your bank through Deposit Switch.

Income & employment verification

Tax forms provide a wealth of information including: total earnings, employer/payer details, taxes withheld, and more. This information can be used as an additional input for income & employment verification.

How it works

Once an end user connects their payroll account, a webhook is sent notifying you of the available tax forms. You'll then retrieve the relevant tax forms via an API call using the tax forms ID.
