Asure's Tax Filing Capabilities
Asure, a leading provider of cloud-based software and payroll services, has recently expanded its tax filing capabilities to better serve CPAs, tax professionals, and businesses during this dynamic tax season.
With this new offering, Asure is offering a scalable solution to the rapidly changing ERTC demands, making it easier for CPAs and tax professionals to manage their work. This will enable them to provide a better service to their clients and make filing taxes less taxing for everyone involved.
Automated Tax Filing
Asure, a leading provider of software for the Professional Employer Organization (PEO) industry, has recently announced its new automated tax filing capabilities to help CPA firms and tax professionals scale quickly in response to surging Expanded Tax Credit Claims (ERTC) demand. With these new tools, CPAs can quickly bulk-submit ERTC data and documentation online through Asure's secure portal so that clients can get maximum refunds with minimal effort.
The automated tax filing feature is integrated into Asure's Payroll system, allowing CPA firms and tax professionals to easily generate year-end filings from their payroll solutions along with ERTC documents. This will allow clients to file their taxes accurately, efficiently and quickly via Asure’s website without relying on third parties for support or needing manual documents or data entry. With the automated tech solution, firms can count on fast turnaround times for their filings by offering direct access to their payroll systems in the cloud.
By utilizing these automated processes within the Asure payroll platform, CPAs and other professionals have an easier way of fulfilling large numbers of clients’ requirements at once while still providing high-quality service. The link between Asure's payroll system and automation technology ensures accuracy while saving valuable time that would usually have been spent manually creating forms or entering numbers by hand – freeing up resources to focus on providing additional value-added services like strategy development – a must during these economic times!
Tax Return Preparation
Asure, a leading provider of human capital management (HCM) services, is making tax filing even easier to handle this season. With the latest enhancements to its integrated HCM platform, Asure now supports the electronic return transfer of tax documents (ERTC) features. This enables CPA firms and tax professionals to scale their operations in response to the surge for ERTC capacity caused by many taxpayers filing returns shortly before their due-date this tax season.
The new ERTC capabilities are available through either Asure’s cloud or on-premise solutions and provide functionality within existing administrative tools such as Tax Prompts, Remote ID Verification and batch processing. Tax professionals can now access all key areas of client data quickly while choosing individual documents they need during any given transaction.
These custom-built tools allow CPAs and other tax professionals to shorten the cycle needed to compute returns that must be filed electronically by taking into account verification processes that are required by authorities such as IRS before return submission. Asure's integrated platform helps make filing much smoother for busy organizations during peak filing times in January-April. Additionally, all employers eligible for 2021’s federal expanded Emergency Paid Sick Leave (EPSL) reimbursements will also benefit from these advancements since employers having fewer than 500 employees are eligible for a payroll credit that could cover as much as 100 percent of qualified wages paid during EPSL periods.
