SmartWiz is an AI assistant that automates tax return data entry inside professional tax software, including TaxSlayer Pro Web, Drake Online, and OLT Pro, plus Drake Desktop early access through the SmartWiz desktop app. Its assistant, Wizzy, reads client tax documents, builds the client profile, and enters the data directly into the return, so the preparer's job shifts from typing to reviewing. SmartWiz is built for professional tax preparers and tax offices, not for individual taxpayers filing their own returns.
Where SmartWiz came from
SmartWiz was built by people who ran their own tax business first. The team prepared returns at volume, lived the data entry bottleneck through real tax seasons, and built Wizzy to remove it. That history shapes the product: it works inside the tax software preparers already use rather than asking offices to switch platforms, because switching software mid-career is the one thing most preparers will not do.
What Wizzy actually does
- Reads client documents. W-2s, 1099s, organizers, brokerage statements, as PDFs, photos, or scans. Intake tools JotForm, Cognito Forms, and GoHighLevel connect directly.
- Builds the client profile. Processing takes about two to three minutes per client depending on document count.
- Enters the data into the return. One-Click Return puts the data into the correct fields inside your tax software, and creates the client profile there for new clients.
- Shows its work. A side-by-side review puts every entered figure next to the source document. Anything Wizzy was not confident about is flagged for the preparer first.
- Steps back. Wizzy does not e-file and does not make tax judgments. The preparer reviews, decides, finishes, and files.
Returns run in parallel, so an office can queue several clients and come back to finished entry on all of them. A return that takes most of an hour to key by hand typically takes under five minutes of hands-on time.
What SmartWiz covers today
Individual 1040 federal and state returns in all 50 states, including Schedule C, capital gains, K-1s, Schedule B, and 1099 income. Business returns (1065s and 1120s) are in development for next season.
Security
SmartWiz is SOC 2 compliant. Client data is encrypted in transit and at rest, personally identifiable information is encrypted so it is not readable in plain text even internally, and SmartWiz does not train AI models on client data. Full details at smartwiz.ai/security.
Pricing
Per-return pricing on annual plans. A return unlocked for a client can be re-run as needed at no extra charge; only a separate tax year uses another credit. Current pricing at smartwiz.ai/pricing.

No. SmartWiz works inside your existing tax software. You keep your software, your workflow, and your filing process; Wizzy does the keying.
Does SmartWiz replace preparers?
No. It removes data entry, which is the part of the job that is neither judgment nor client service. Preparers review, decide, and file.
Who is SmartWiz for?
Professional tax preparers and tax offices, from solo preparers to multi-preparer shops and service bureaus. It is not a consumer tax filing product.
