Features built for the tax preparation workflow

TaxWorkpaper AI follows the natural progression of a tax return — from trial balance to account mapping, financial and equity review, book-to-tax adjustments, and a tax-ready Excel export — in one collaborative, tenant-isolated workspace.

Trial balance & mapping

Trial balance management

Import a trial balance from QuickBooks, Excel, or CSV. Compare to prior year, post adjusting, reclassifying, and tax journal entries — every change tracked with full account history.

Account mapping

Translate accounting data into tax data with AI-suggested tax code mappings. Full reviewer control over every account, with firm-wide templates to speed up new engagements.

Financial review

Validate the books before making tax adjustments — balance sheet reasonableness, income statement trends, prior-year variance, and negative-balance diagnostics.

Tax workpapers

Book-to-tax adjustments

Reconcile book income to taxable income with permanent and timing differences, Schedule M-1, and a worksheet that ties to the trial balance.

Fixed-asset reconciliation

Reconcile book and tax fixed-asset balances, calculate depreciation differences, roll forward asset classes, and post tax adjustments to the general ledger.

Equity review

Reconcile equity to the balance sheet — S-corp AAA and OAA schedules, partnership partner capital accounts, and C-corp retained earnings, entity by entity.

Review & export

Adjusting entries

Decide what goes back to the client. Post adjusting, reclassifying, and tax entries that stay connected to the trial balance with full history.

Review & sign-off

Preparer and reviewer sign-offs with engagement locking, per-account review points, and an open-items center that consolidates outstanding questions and PBC requests.

Tax-ready Excel export

Export a clean, tax-code-mapped Excel file ready for CCH Axcess, UltraTax, ProConnect, or your software — no manual re-keying.

Firm & team

QuickBooks Online sync

Connect client books and pull account balances straight into the engagement, with change detection flagging exactly what moved on every sync.

Consolidated returns

Combine entities into a consolidated group, post elimination entries, and roll everything up to one consolidated trial balance and tax export.

Firm workspaces

Each firm gets an isolated workspace with row-level security. Invite team members, assign roles, and manage engagements together — one firm can never see another's data.
