As tax season approaches, it’s important to evaluate whether your current tax software is helping or hindering your success. Tax professionals rely on efficient, user-friendly software to manage returns quickly and accurately, so if you’re feeling frustrated or limited by your current tax software, it may be time for an upgrade. That’s why the tax pros at Swift Financial Partners developed the ultimate evaluation tool, the Swift Tax Test!
The Swift Tax Test is a simple way to assess your current tax software based on four key areas: ease of use, navigation, functionality, and tools. Let’s break it down and see how your software stacks up, section by section.
Ease of Use
How intuitive is your software? Does it take new tax preparers a long time to get comfortable with it? Tax software should make your life easier, not harder. You shouldn’t need hours of training or tech support just to file a simple 1040 return for your client. On a scale from one to ten, how would you rate the Ease of Use of your current tax software?
Navigation
Can you move seamlessly between different areas of your software without feeling lost? How easy or difficult is it for you to find and fill out the forms you need to complete a tax return? Navigating through various fields like client data, tax forms, invoicing, and document management should be smooth and efficient for you and your team. If you find yourself getting lost in the various tools, features, and form in your tax software then maybe it’s time to make a change?
Functionality
Does your tax software have the power to handle the most complex returns? Is it equipped to manage the data of multiple clients, various tax forms, and ever-changing tax regulations? Tax software should streamline these processes and make your job, as the tax preparer, easier! A good tax software that passes the Swift Tax Test is powerful enough to handle complicated returns while streamlining the tax filing process with automation tools and more!
Tools
Does your software offer the tools you need to optimize your workflow? From client management features to error-checking tools, the right software should provide more than just a place to file taxes. Your ideal tax software expedited the tax filing process by combining document management, automation, client management, and data input options to prepare taxes the way you are most comfortable with.
