How to Get More Done This Tax Season Without More Staff

If you’ve ever felt like your team spends more time typing data than actually preparing returns, you’re not alone.

The reality is simple: manual input is one of the biggest bottlenecks in tax preparation workflows. It slows down turnaround, increases errors, and makes scaling your practice feel impossible without adding headcount.

That’s where automation changes everything.

The Pain Point: Manual Data Entry in Your Tax Software

Every busy season, firms run into the same challenges:

  • Re-entering W-2s, 1099s, and IDs by hand → hours wasted.
  • Correcting typos or mismatched entries → costly rework and IRS rejections.
  • Team bottlenecks → one return stalls, and everything behind it slows down.

This manual grind doesn’t just frustrate staff. It limits your firm’s ability to grow.
