📧 Sending Files With the Outlook Plug-in

  • We have added the functionality to add multiple recipients for file shares when adding through our file shares.

  • The above article is an example of the functionality but it now works across Outlook, Gmail, and the Share File feature on the desktop or web page!

🔄️ Replace Existing Return Tasks

  • A new Manage Existing Tasks button lets you pick a target project and delete multiple tasks at once. Files move to the project’s “recently deleted” recovery, and activity logs are recorded.

🖨️ Group 'print-to-truss' Returns by Filename Prefix

  • For programs that print multiple PDFs, we now combine multiple PDFs as one upload as long as they have a Client ID/identifying prefix.

🔐 Force Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for All Firm Users

  • The option is now available to unilaterally require code-based authentication for your firm users prior to access.

📤 API Document Upload

  • You can now upload files directly to a task via our API. To learn more, visit our API Deck.

🔗 Hide Client Portal Link

  • We added a feature to hide the Client Portal link from clients' project menus. If your irm wants this feature, contact Support to enable it!

☀️ 1099 Task Creation

  • We’ve added a new firm setting for Questionnaire 1099 Consolidation that lets you pick how 1099 tasks are grouped. Please contact Support if you would like to change the default preference.

    • No 1099 consolidation – every 1099 stays separate.

    • Group by Institution (default) – uses AI to merge forms by payer.

    • Group by Account – consolidates by account number into one brokerage statement.

🔎 MaxAI Now Can Search Drive

  • When you run a query, MaxAI can now search beyond the files in the Project, and can find additional documents in the Entity's folders.

❔ MaxAI Can Also Poll QuickBooks

  • We’ve added endpoints to list the QuickBooks connections. MaxAI will only do read-only requests; it will not generate any direct changes.

🧩 Smart K-1 Assembly

  • When you upload K-1s, we now scan for the shareholder’s SSN and auto-select to 'Move' into that contact’s 1040 project (matching tax year), allowing you to quickly move it into their Individual Tax Project. Preparers can still override if needed.


⏰ K-1 Gather Pending Review

  • When a client draft includes a K-1 that matches a firm-prepared business Project (same entity & year), that task now starts in Pending Review instead of To Do.


✍️ AI-Powered Shareholder Names

  • For Lacerte and Drake combined-PDF K-1s, we’ve enhanced our AI helper to pull the actual shareholder name from Part II, replacing generic “Shareholder #” labels.


📥 Print-to-Truss (GoFileRoom import)

  • We now include CLIENT COPY - K1 PACKAGE documents in addition to the original CLIENT COPY returns. Any GoFileRoom file whose description starts with “CLIENT COPY – K1 PACKAGE” will be pulled into Truss, just like the main client copy.



 

🪲 Bug Fixes

Click here to return to the Index.

  • We fixed an account status that showed a user as Invited despite having accepted the invite and being active in the program.

  • Corrected a UI display when using 'Run on Selection' in our Auto-Sort feature in Drive Templates.

  • Removed duplicate email signatures when an email signature is already present for a user.

  • Ensured the Move Task arrows remain during Review Mode after deleting a file.

  • Adjusted our recognition behavior to ensure taxing authorities remain in proper order.

  • Identified and corrected loading behavior when trying to split some PDFs.

  • Fixed an expiration issue with sent documents to prevent 'E-Sign Error Loading the Document' issues.

  • Corrected our engine to read assembly documents by strict page order.
  • Added protections to our built-in system tags to prevent accidental removal. The tags are now unable to be removed, keeping workflows and automations intact.
