TaxAutomate
Overview
AI tax-practice platform for front desk, client workflows, tax document automation, practice management, advisory and IRS response work.
TaxAutomate is a connected AI automation platform for tax firms. It combines an AI front desk, client portal and CRM, tax document automation, practice management, and TaxAutomate Copilot around a shared client record. Firms can use it to answer and route client inquiries, collect intake, schedule appointments, receive documents, generate source-linked workpapers, move prepared values toward existing tax software, track workload and deadlines, and assemble review-ready advisory or IRS response work. It is designed to work alongside professional tax software rather than replace it. Tax professionals remain responsible for reviewing extracted data, resolving exceptions, making tax and advisory judgments, and approving client deliverables.
Product overview
Capabilities, pricing and fit
TaxAutomate is built for tax firms that want AI-assisted operations around their existing tax software. Its distinctive angle is the combination of front-office automation, client portal workflows, source-document-to-workpaper automation, practice management, and advisory or IRS response support in one client record.
Information as of November 12, 2026
What it can do
- AI Front Desk
Answers calls, texts, emails and lead-source inquiries; supports clients; collects intake; books appointments; follows up; and keeps next steps connected to the client record.[1]
- Client Portal, Mobile App and CRM
Gives clients a mobile-ready place to upload documents, answer requests, track progress, book appointments, pay, view invoices and complete next steps while updating the shared client record.[1]
- Tax document automation
Transforms source documents into a source-linked PDF binder, ties prepared values to the original workpapers, flags exceptions, and prepares data for professional review and supported tax software workflows.[1], [4]
- Supported tax form extraction
Extracts structured data from W-2, selected 1099, 1098 and K-1 forms, with field-level coverage and review recommendations documented for tax professionals.[3]
- Tax software workflow support
Works with existing tax software workflows listed by TaxAutomate, including Drake and ProSeries in the documentation; the Drake workflow uses a desktop agent to enter data into Drake screens, while ProSeries receives return data ready for ProSeries.[1], [4]
- Practice management operating view
Tracks preparation, ownership, deadlines, requests, blockers, review, signature and delivery from intake through filing in a live operating view.[1]
- TaxAutomate Copilot
Brings completed returns, source documents, IRS notices and client history into one workspace to surface planning and response opportunities and assemble advisory or IRS response work for professional approval.[1]
Where it fits best

Important considerations
- TaxAutomate does not replace the firm’s professional tax software; it is positioned as automation around the tax software the firm already uses.[1]
- AI does not make final tax or advisory decisions. Tax professionals are responsible for reviewing facts, making judgment calls, resolving exceptions, and approving client deliverables.[1], [3], [4]
- Supported-form coverage has stated limits: Schedule K-1 Form 1041, K-1s with supplemental schedules over two pages, and foreign partnership K-1s are not supported.[3]
- Document quality affects extraction. Handwritten forms are only partially supported, scans below 150 DPI may produce incomplete extractions, non-English forms are not supported, older pre-2020 tax years may have reduced coverage, and password-protected PDFs must be unlocked befor[3]
- Pricing is product-specific. Some products show starting prices, larger Tax Automation volumes are discussed based on firm needs and volume, and Website & Mobile App is shown as a custom quote.[2]
