Announcing The Next Generation Scan and Populate: 100% Accuracy, No Human Verification

Scan-and-populate solutions reduce data entry, but most require tax preparers to spend time verifying the OCR’d data since scan-and-populate solutions can’t guarantee 100% accuracy. Until now.

Attend this webinar to learn about a new technology that eliminates human verification. We’ll explain how the technology works from a technical perspective and discuss real-world data and examples of the benefits.

1040 Scan (Verify) and Populate

“Scan & Populate” solutions would be more accurately described as “Scan, Verify & Populate”. That’s because it’s a best practice to verify the accuracy of OCR’d source document data before it gets exported to tax software. Verifying OCR’d data can be time consuming and impacts your overall efficiency.

In this session, we’ll discuss several options for verifying OCR’d data including having it done by non-professional staff (temps, admin, etc.), interns, tax professionals and third party outsourcers and compare them in terms of:

• Automation and efficiency
• Workflow
• Training and implementation

Your 1040 Clients Want Mobile Options. Are You Delivering?

Like it or not, you’re probably receiving more photographs of 1040 source documents (W2s, 1099s, etc.) than ever before, because it’s easy for them to snap a quick picture of their documents with their phone.

Clients use mobile apps to deposit checks into their bank, and they’re looking for the same convenience to send you source documents. Ensure high-quality photoscanning with SurePrep’s mobile app, TaxCaddy, and start a smooth transition to a paperless 1040 process.

“TaxCaddy was very easy to use and a great improvement over having to scan documents into a PDF and then upload into client portal. The ability to take a photo and submit it immediately was especially useful. Saved me a lot of time.” – A TaxCaddy user
