FAQs
What documents can Tax Vision Assist import?
Tax Vision Assist can automatically extract data from several common tax preparation documents including government IDs, Form W-2, Form 1099-K, Form 1099-R, and Form SSA-1099. The information is then imported directly into the appropriate fields of the tax return inside CrossLink. Accepted file types are: PNG, JPG, PDF.
How does Tax Vision Assist work?
Tax Vision Assist uses advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to read text from uploaded or scanned documents. Once the document is processed, the system identifies key tax data and automatically transfers it into the correct areas of the return. As you prepare the return, it also provides real-time guidance, including instructions, tips, and recommended next steps to help you complete forms accurately.
Do I still review the data before filing?
Yes. Tax Vision Assist is designed to assist with data entry, not replace the tax professional. Preparers can review the imported information before completing the return to ensure everything is accurate.
Does this replace manual data entry completely?
Tax Vision Assist significantly reduces the need for manual data entry, but tax professionals remain in control of the preparation process. The feature helps speed up intake and document processing while allowing preparers to review and finalize all information.
Is Tax Vision Assist included with CrossLink?
Yes. Tax Vision Assist is included with CrossLink tax software and is built directly into the workflow, allowing tax professionals to take advantage of OCR technology without needing additional tools or integrations.
