Upload documents

Upload client documents to create binders and start the tax preparation process.
You can upload documents in 2 ways:
  • Select the button in the top corner of the
    Tax Automation
    screen
  • Select
    Upload
    from the Actions column in a client row (this automatically fills in the client information)

Complete the information

  1. Select the
    client
    you're submitting documents for.
  2. Select the
    office location
    for this client.
  3. Select the
    SurePrep service type
    for the upload. The options you see depend on your firm's licensing.
  4. Turn on
    Use leadsheets
    if you're including leadsheets with your upload. Leadsheets help organize and summarize financial data for your binder.
  5. Select who will review the subsequent binder in
    Binder Review
    . (available for subsequent binders in 1040 Scan Pro Offshore and 1040 Scan Pro Onshore only).
    • In-house
      – A designated reviewer at your firm reviews the binder
    • At SurePrep
      – A SurePrep reviewer reviews the binder documents before final submission
  6. Select
    1040Scanverify Offshore
    to turn on
    7216 Consent
    . When you upload documents for 1040Scanverify Offshore, Form 7216 is required for binder submission.
  7. Select
    Client consent confirmed
    to verify you've obtained your client's consent. This ensures compliance with IRS regulations for the use and disclosure of tax information. You can't complete the upload without verifying consent.
  8. You can add custom notes (up to 256 characters) to describe or categorize your upload if you have the
    TA Custom field
    . This field is only available if your SP Binder settings require customer fields. Use this field for tracking, special instructions, or binder organization.
    note
    This field isn't available when you upload subsequent binder documents.
  9. Select
    Upload Files
    to submit your documents for processing. The maximum file size is 1GB. Supported file types include PDF, DOCX, XLS, and XLSX.
note
The data being imported comes from standard documents that 1040SCAN successfully read. If you included any non-standard documents, such as charitable contributions, they’ll appear as unindexed in the PDF. This serves as a cue that you may still need to enter data manually for those items. Use the PDF to identify and address any documents that fall into this category. While this automates the majority of the process for you, you still need to review some items.
