Simple

This is the ideal option for clients who just need to upload IRS source documents like W-2s or 1099s. These clients may also struggle with completing the form or may not need to provide the added information included in the questionnaire.

Standard

This is the default template because it covers the needs of 80-90% of your clients. This template includes opportunities to upload IRS source documents and a Smart Form that provides you with the right information for most business and personal tax clients while still improving client response rates by keeping it brief, intuitive and easy-to-complete.

Comprehensive

This is for clients who regularly itemize every year, or otherwise require additional information. The template for this form includes additional sections for things like non-resident alien taxpayers, other income and adjustments and other credits and deductions. Clients can review detailed dependent information, confirm any Estimated Tax Payments projected from last year's filing, and access the Itemized Deductions section even if they didn't itemize previously.

Known Issues in Early Preview

We’re actively working on a few refinements during this Early Preview phase:

Single Schedule Limitation: For clients with multiple schedules, currently only the first schedule is pulled. Support for multiple schedules is in progress.

Lacerte 1098-E: File upload prompts are displaying prior-year values instead of the lender name.
