Tax Planning Built for Your Accounting Firm's Workflow

This special guarantee applies when you meet all 7 conditions within your 12 month subscription period (again, all 7 are required):

It’s tax planning software for accountants who want a repeatable process:

icon-project

Project the client's tax position. Model estimated payments, different income scenarios, entity structures, Roth conversions, IRMAA, and other tax outcomes.

icon-planning

Find planning opportunities. Upload client tax information and identify and prioritize which clients proactive planning may make a difference for.

icon-strategies

Choose the right strategies. jAIne inside our tax strategy software helps match the client to relevant opportunities from a library of 130+ advanced tax strategies.

icon-price

Build and price the plan. Create the client-facing plan while the software uses the ROI Method of Value Pricing to establish an up-front fee.

icon-present

Present and implement. Show the client the report, estimated savings, and your fee in a professional white-labeled plan, then keep the work moving after they say yes.

The result is a consistent process your firm can use again and again.

Before you recommend a strategy, you need to know where the client stands.

With TaxPlanIQ Projections, you can model the client's current tax position and see how different decisions could change it.

Run federal and state projections, calculate estimated payments, compare scenarios, model entity changes, and answer the questions clients are already asking you:

  • What am I going to owe?
  • What happens if my income changes?
  • Should I elect S corporation status?
  • What happens if we make this move before year-end?

Projection gives you the baseline.

Planning goes beyond and gives you the actions that could improve it.

Find Tax Planning Opportunities
Across Your Client Base

You already have tax returns you prepare every year.

Upload a single 1040 when you know who you want to plan for, or screen up to 100 returns at once to find opportunities across your client base.

TaxPlanIQ analyzes the information and helps surface clients who may have meaningful planning opportunities.

Instead of manually reviewing hundreds of returns and trying to remember every strategy that could apply, you can quickly see where it may be worth taking a deeper look.

TaxPlanIQ makes planning easier to build into your existing client workflow instead of treating it like an entirely separate business.

Match the Client to the Right Tax Strategies

Once you choose a client, TaxPlanIQ helps you go from “there may be an opportunity here” to “here are the strategies to evaluate.”

jAIne, TaxPlanIQ's AI tax planning assistant, analyzes the client's information and recommends relevant strategies from a library of more than 130 advanced tax planning strategies.

Each strategy also includes guidance to help your team understand when it applies and how to move it forward.

Build the Tax Plan

Choose the strategies you want to recommend and TaxPlanIQ turns them into a professional client-facing plan.

Good tax planning software for accounting firms keeps your firm's brand front and center, which is why the finished plan can have your firm's logo on it.

The client sees the opportunity much more clearly:

  • A high-level overview of what you're recommending
  • The estimated tax impact with how much they could save
  • What your firm will charge to help, which includes an ROI report

Price the Tax Planning Engagement

Finding $50,000 in potential tax savings and then guessing whether you should charge $1,500 or $10,000 isn't much of a pricing system.

TaxPlanIQ includes the ROI Method™ of Value Pricing to help you set a fixed fee before the engagement begins.

Instead of pricing only around the number of hours you expect to work, the method considers the value and circumstances of the engagement, including factors such as complexity, urgency, risk, and client benefit.

The result is a repeatable pricing process your team can use from client to client.

And the client gets something equally important:

A clear comparison between what the engagement may be worth and what it costs.

Put the Tax Plan Into Action

The engagement doesn't stop when the client says yes.

TaxPlanIQ is tax advisory software built to help your firm move strategies from recommendation to implementation with access to preferred vendors for high-level strategies.

And when your team needs help, we don’t want to leave you alone with just a login and a help center.

TaxPlanIQ offers a program called the Advisor Accelerator Program: a guided implementation program built around helping your firm win its first paid planning engagement within 45–60 days. You get access to tax planning consultants, business coaches and a training coordinator.

  • How to choose planning clients
  • Build tax plans
  • Evaluate advanced strategies
  • Apply the ROI Method of pricing
  • Present your recommendations
  • Handle objections

Tax Planning Software for CPAs: Common Questions

Does TaxPlanIQ replace my tax preparation software?

No. Keep preparing and filing returns with the tax software you already use. TaxPlanIQ handles the forward-looking work that is separate to your compliance workflow, which includes tax projections and advanced tax planning strategies.

Does TaxPlanIQ include tax projections?

Yes, on select plans. TaxPlanIQ Projections includes quarterly estimated tax calculations, federal and state projections, scenario modeling, entity comparison, and additional planning tools. This allows your firm to answer both sides of the client conversation: where they're headed and what they could do differently.

How does TaxPlanIQ identify tax planning opportunities?

Upload a client's tax information and TaxPlanIQ analyzes it to help identify relevant opportunities. jAIne then recommends strategies from the platform's library of 130+ advanced tax planning strategies. Your professional judgment, along with TaxPlanIQ human-led support, determines what ultimately goes into the client's plan.

Is TaxPlanIQ tax planning software for CPAs who are new to planning?

Yes. The software helps with strategy identification, plan building, pricing, and presentation, while TaxPlanIQ's training and support programs can help you learn the process. Firms that want more hands-on guidance can also use the Advisor Accelerator or CCTA program.

How can my firm price tax planning engagements?

TaxPlanIQ includes the ROI Method™ of Value Pricing to help firms establish an up-front fee based on the value and circumstances of the engagement rather than relying only on estimated savings or hours.

Can my staff use TaxPlanIQ?

Yes. A major benefit of creating a standardized workflow is that more of the planning preparation can be delegated. Staff can help analyze clients and prepare plans while senior professionals review recommendations and lead the client conversation.

Does TaxPlanIQ work with my firm's existing tax software?

Yes. TaxPlanIQ works alongside your existing compliance stack rather than replacing it. Your tax preparation software still prepares the return; TaxPlanIQ helps turn the information from that return into proactive planning.
