If your client has multiple small businesses, each with its own LLC, file state returns all at once, instead of one by one, saving you significant time in the process.

Clients can now tell you when they’re done providing information and documents via Link so you don’t have to waste time wondering when to get started on their return. You’ll receive a notification and also have the ability to mark the client activity done yourself in the return actions.
