Your tax office's assistant that works while you're with clients.

TaxCadet files every client document, keeps your tracker current, chases missing paperwork and pre-enters returns in your tax software. Your preparers review and file. TaxCadet does the rest.

Built and used daily by a working Orlando tax office. Works with TaxSlayer Pro, Drake Tax and CrossLink.

How it works

TaxCadet runs on its own every hour during business hours, using Claude by Anthropic on your office computer and your office Google account.

Documents come in

Clients email or upload W-2s, 1099s and IDs. TaxCadet reads each one, names it, and files it in the right client's folder.

Tracker stays current

Your client tracker updates with what was received, what is missing, and where every return stands.

Clients get nudged

Missing-document requests, engagement letters and e-sign forms are drafted for you to approve and send.

Returns pre-entered

TaxCadet enters the documents into your tax software screen by screen, then leaves a reviewer checklist.

You review and file

Your preparer checks the entry, answers due diligence, and e-files. TaxCadet never signs or transmits a return.

What it handles

The repetitive work that eats your season, done the same careful way every time.

Intake and filing

Email and form attachments sorted into the correct client folder, with a log of every file.

Data entry

W-2, 1099-NEC/MISC/INT/DIV/R/G, SSA-1099, Schedule C, dependents and more, entered from the documents.

Reviewer checklist

Every pre-entered return gets a checklist of what to verify, so review takes minutes instead of an hour.

Client follow-ups

Drafted emails for missing documents and signatures, ready for your approval.

Deadline tracking

Extensions, estimated payments and filing deadlines tracked per client.

Reviews and referrals

After a return is accepted, a thank-you with your Google review link and a referral ask.

Works with your tax software

Pick the program your office already uses. Multi-office plans can mix programs.

TaxSlayer ProDrake TaxCrossLink

Data entry for Drake Tax and CrossLink starts in guided mode, and each screen is checked on first use. Intake, filing, tracking and follow-ups work fully in every program.

Safe by design

Client data stays in your office's own accounts.

✓Your data stays yours

Documents and client records live in your Google Drive and tax software. TaxCadet's servers receive counts only, never names, SSNs or amounts.

✓A human files every return

TaxCadet never e-files, signs, changes bank details, or marks a return complete. Your preparer does.

✓Emails are data, not orders

Instructions hidden inside client emails or documents are ignored. TaxCadet follows only your office's procedure.

Questions

Does TaxCadet file returns for me?

No. TaxCadet prepares and pre-enters. A licensed preparer in your office reviews every return, answers due diligence, and e-files. That keeps you in control and compliant.

What do I need to run it?

A Windows computer with your tax software installed, the Claude desktop app with a Claude subscription, and a Google account for the office. We walk you through setup in about 30 minutes.

Where is client information stored?

In your own Google Drive, Gmail, Google Sheets and tax software, the same places it lives today. TaxCadet's licensing server only receives counts such as "12 documents processed".

What happens if I go over my client limit?

Nothing stops. You'll see a notice, and we'll talk about moving up a plan.

Can I use it on more computers than my plan includes?

Extra computers still do intake, filing and follow-ups. Data entry runs only on the computers your plan covers. You can move a computer to a different seat anytime.

Who builds TaxCadet?

TaxCadet was built inside First Class Tax Relief, a working tax office in Orlando, Florida, and it runs there every day of the season.
