In fact, you may even have used them before, but you\u2019re not quite sure if they\u2019re right for your practice. Here are some reasons to consider using Intuit<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">\u00ae<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> eSignature this tax season:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> One-Click Requests <\/b><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">When you\u2019re ready for a client signature on Form 8879, simply click \u201cRequest\u201d in the eSignature Status column from your All Clients screen in your Intuit professional tax software. Your client will receive an email with a link to review and electronically sign. Clients love the convenience of being able to sign from any connected device.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Automated Reminders<\/b><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> Ordinarily, you need to keep track manually of which clients have signed Form 8879. Then, you need to remind clients who haven\u2019t returned a signed form. With Intuit eSignature, you can see the status of all signature requests from the eSignature dashboard, and set automated reminders to follow up with clients so you don\u2019t have to.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Finish Returns Faster<\/b><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> On average, it takes clients five days to return a signed Form 8879. But, with Intuit eSignature, clients can view and sign even from their mobile device, so it\u2019s more convenient than ever. The average turnaround time is less than a day for clients who used eSignature.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Free Online Storage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> Clients often make requests for copies of tax returns later in the year. When you use Intuit eSignature, your client receives access to a copy of their tax return for the remainder of the calendar year.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>BONUS REASON #5. Get Paid Faster \u2013 new for Lacerte<\/b><b>\u00ae<\/b><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> New for Lacerte in tax year 2015, Intuit eSignature is now Intuit eSignature Plus Payments. Now, when you request an electronic signature, you can also request payment of your fees with one additional click. After electronically signing Form 8879, clients will be prompted to pay with debit card, credit card or EFT. On average, it takes accountants 45 to 60 days to collect payment from tax clients. But, with eSignature Plus Payments, the average turnaround time is less than a day, so you get paid faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>BONUS REASON #6. One-click e-file \u2013 new for Lacerte<\/b><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> With eSignature Plus Payments, you don\u2019t need to spend time re-checking returns before e-filing. After a client uses eSignature to sign, Lacerte will automatically re-run all validation checks to ensure the return is ready to e-file. Then, when you\u2019re ready to file the return, it takes just one click.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">So, what\u2019s your reason to try Intuit eSignature?
