AI for Tax Preparers in the US

Tax offices do most of a year's work between January and April, with organizers to chase, returns to deliver and sign, new clients to sign up and a phone that never stops. Client portals, practice software, an AI receptionist and review tools can take on the chasing and the admin, and an AI assistant can draft penalty relief letters from anonymous notes. Due dates stay in the office's own tax software first, client data stays in tools that meet the FTC Safeguards Rule, and section 7216 governs any use of client details for marketing.
