Tax Return Review for Tax Preparers with UltraTax CS
Run tax return review on autopilot inside UltraTax CS.
The Problem
Senior reviewers spend hours tick-and-tying Individual Tax returns against source documents and prior year — and small-dollar variances still slip through into partner review.
What We Build in UltraTax CS
AI reconciles each line of the return against source docs in Drake Tax and the prior year, explains variances over 5%, and produces a review workpaper the senior can sign off on — cutting review time in half. Purpose-built for teams running UltraTax CS — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
