Additional Notes
  • Additional users connected to your account can do everything you can do, for example, answer questions on your behalf, upload a document, view tax returns, pay tax payments, and much more. However, additional users can’t do the following:
    • Sign documents (Spouse user can sign spouse-related documents)
    • Mark documents as reviewed
    • Access your
      Settings
  • If a former spouse must be temporarily added to complete the filing process, they can be added as an
    Other
     account. When this happens, their access to your TaxCaddy account can be revoked at your discretion without needing them to initiate the account deletion process.
    Select Other relationship
    note
    Spouses added as
    Other
     accounts won’t be able to complete spousal signature requests. Spouse-related signature requests must be printed, physically signed, then photo-scanned into TaxCaddy.
