📧 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.
