The thing with 1040 tax prep is that for profitability firms have to find a way to complete volume returns. We have figured that implementing modern tax tools and eliminating friction points. Most of our process comes from the same steps you use in Canopy. We follow your intake rules, organizing documents, tagging tasks, and moving returns through Prep, Review, Corrections, and Ready for Signature. Since we only work with CPA firms, our team gets used to the same patterns and requirements that 1040 work needs.

Consent to disclosure of tax return information is a separate written document provided by a taxpayer that grants a tax return preparer permission to reveal (disclose) specific tax return information to another person. This permission is required when the disclosure is for any purpose not specifically authorized by law or regulation, such as assisting in the preparation and filing of the return.

To be valid, the consent must be knowing and voluntary, signed and dated by the taxpayer. It must clearly identify the intended purpose, the specific recipient(s), and the specific information being disclosed. An “opt-out” mechanism is not permitted; consent requires the taxpayer’s affirmative consent to each disclosure. Importantly, if consent is granted, federal law may not protect the information from further use or distribution by the recipient.

The consent is generally valid for one year from the date of signature, unless the taxpayer specifies a different duration.

We take a consultative approach when you offshore tax preparation with us. We start by understanding your tax season bottlenecks and how your current team works. Once we know the gaps, we design a workflow that fits your system instead of replacing it.

You keep your existing process. You upload client documents into Canopy or the system you already use. We move the return through Prep, run the checks, add notes for the reviewer, and update the status. It follows the same steps your team follows. We just help you get through more returns without feeling rushed.

Communication happens through the same tools your team already uses. Most firms use Canopy or TaxDome tasks and comments, or email when needed. Everything stays inside your system so the whole team can see the status, questions, and updates.

We also provide end-of-day status and weekly meetings to ensure work stays on track.

Working hours of our team overlap with your working time. Time zones usually work in your favor. You add tasks before closing the day. We pick them up overnight and move the return to the next stage by the time you start your morning. This keeps the queue moving without long gaps.

There are two practical reasons firms choose Credfino over other outsourced tax preparation services. First, we take a consulting approach and help you build or clean up your workflows so the work moves smoothly. Second, every return goes through a six-eye check. A preparer completes the work, a checker reviews it, and a senior reviewer validates the key items before it reaches your desk.

This reduces rework and keeps your review time low.

Yes. Extension work, notices, cleanup tasks, projections, and follow-up items. We help with those the same way we help with tax season work. It is steady and predictable.

We do the work inside your software and in VDI environment. Nothing is downloaded or stored outside your environment or even leaves your office. Access is controlled through your permissions in project management software and your login rules. This keeps everything private and traceable.

On top of that we have built SSN-free workflow for firms willing to add an extra layer of security. Schedule a call to know more about that.

If you need to stop, you tell us. There is a short notice period so we can close tasks properly. Nothing complicated.

Projections help you see a client’s estimated liability early. This makes planning easier and gives you room to talk to the client before year-end. Our team is trained to support you with projections too.
