Tax Return Review for Tax Preparers with SmartVault

SmartVault Tax Preparer Individual Tax

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 SmartVault

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 SmartVault — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

SmartVault Integration Approach

1

Audit your SmartVault configuration

We map the specific SmartVault objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your individual tax practice.

2

Build on the SmartVault API or agent

Integration happens inside SmartVault — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.

3

Human-in-the-loop handoff

Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in SmartVault with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
