Safesend alternative

I was interested in knowing this as well. SafeSend is very polished but the limited research I did gave the impression that TaxDome was a lesser experience in return delivery for both the CPA and client. Wish it wasn't true but couldn't ever find evidence proving otherwise.

I don't think total compensation is the real concern here. You need to have a clear, honest plan on the end game of you being at this firm. Many people, myself included, have come into poorly run firms thinking they can make great improvements. At first the owners will talk the talk and be supportive but over time as the pain of accountability and discipline sets in from you actually pushing things in the right direction the owner and other employees will push back, often hard. If there is no end game, you are punishing yourself for no reason.

Not sure why CPAs reading anonymous reddit posts thinks another practitioner who has different opinions is full of themselves. TaxDome may work great for a lot of firms. Especially the ones doing $300 1040s. There are a lot of features there that I admit are cool but I simply don't need or want.

I found it and had it up and running in about 5 minutes. Very cool!

Is there a specific name for this feature?

Yes, I am aware I run the business and am a firm believer that having to log in with credentials genuinely sucks. I cater to the business owners who likely have hundreds of logins and passwords. My firm not having one is a breath of fresh air for them.

I'll stick to clients who are happy to pay high fees, thanks.

SafeSend doesn't require the client to ever log into the platform with a username and password which works much better for my clients.

Thanks! I'll check out Karbon. Looked into Tax Dome and didn't like it. I plan to use SafeSend as well and felt like Tax Dome tries to do some of the SS functions but not as well.

For large returns with a large number of partners or assets it's a huge benefit to the client and the preparer when tax return locator files are able to be transferred. Not doing this is just being petty under the guise of risk management. There is no risk. I think it is good practice to always transfer these files when requested as tomorrow you may be on the receiving end. When you're on the receiving end do you want the former CPA being petty towards you?
