The return workflow

Three stations. One return, start to finish.

The core of RAG Tax AI mirrors how an engagement already moves through your firm — and the AI carries the load at each station.

01

Preparation

financials → workpaper

Drop in the P&L, balance sheet, prior workpapers, W-2s and 1099s — phone-scanned PDFs included; the AI reads them visually.

  • Book-to-tax reconciliation built on fixed, deterministic treatment rules
  • Every total a live formula — edit one number, the whole workbook reflows
  • Data-entry guide for your tax software, field by field, with live tie-outs
02

Review

return → second opinion

Upload the finished return with its support and get the read a senior reviewer would give it before signature.

  • Return lines tied out against the source financials
  • Findings ranked by risk, each with the authority behind it
  • A filing-readiness verdict and the open-question list
03

Deliverable

work → client-ready

Turn the reviewed engagement into something a client can actually read and act on.

  • Plain-language summaries of what was filed and why
  • Consistent, firm-branded document output
  • Ready to send — once your professional signs off
Beyond the return

A full toolbox for the rest of the practice.

The return workflow is the spine. Around it sit the tools a firm reaches for every week.

Planning

Estimated Taxes

Quarterly safe-harbor estimates computed from current-year books and prior returns, with the payment schedule ready to send.

Planning

Tax Planning

Scenario projections on a deterministic tax engine — the math is code, not guesswork.

Compliance

Notices

Upload an IRS or state notice; get the analysis plus a response letter drafted on firm letterhead.

  • Tax Tracker every engagement on one board, with deadlines by entity type
  • Tax Research answers grounded in current federal and state guidance
  • Diagnostics e-file error analysis with a step-by-step fix guide
  • Client Database clients, years and documents, isolated per firm
  • Presentations turn an engagement into a clean client-meeting deck
  • Misc Calculations the one-off computations, documented in Excel
Professional responsibility

Designed around one line: your firm signs the return.

AI drafts. Professionals decide. The software enforces that boundary instead of blurring it.

ControlHow it works
Flags, not guessesAnything uncertain is marked for review or left blank with an explanation — never silently invented.
Traceable numbersEach amount links back to its source line, and tie-outs recompute the moment a preparer edits the workpaper.
Firm-level isolationYour data is visible only to your firm's users. Hashed credentials, encrypted integration tokens, daily backups.
Originals untouchedClient reports are carried into the workbook verbatim on their own tabs — the source always sits beside the work.

RAG Tax AI was built inside a working U.S. tax practice. Every feature exists because a preparer needed it during a real season — not because it demoed well.

See it on your own returns.

We onboard a small number of firms at a time so every pilot gets direct support. Bring one real engagement and we'll walk it through the workflow with you.
