Clients dread it, so it comes back half done and your preparers chase W-2s all February. Superforms sends each client a short itemized list instead. An agent does the collecting: it asks, answers questions, and follows up until every document is in.
The tax organizer is one of the hardest forms a client ever fills out. Here is what makes it hard:
A full organizer runs many pages, covering income, deductions, dependents, and last year's numbers. Most clients open it, feel the weight, and set it aside.
Half of it does not apply to any one client. Rental property, a small business, investments, a new baby, a move between states. Everyone still has to read past all of it.
AGI. Itemized versus standard. 1099-NEC. Estimated payments. Dependent care credit. People stall on a single term and stop.
W-2s, 1099s, the mortgage 1098, property tax, charitable receipts, K-1s. A questionnaire alone is only half of it.
A missed number or a wrong filing status means a redo later, so people put off the whole thing rather than guess.
A long PDF or a wall of web fields with no sense of progress gets closed and forgotten until April.
A client hits a term they do not understand at 9pm, there is no one to ask, and they stop.
Without a place to put W-2s and 1099s, your team chases them for weeks in your busiest season.
Someone at your firm writes the same follow-up email to forty clients, three times each, every season.
The same questions you already ask, collected for you rather than filled in alone.
Each client gets an itemized request list built from your organizer: the W-2 from their employer, the 1099-B from their broker, with a plain reason why each is needed.
When a client asks at 9pm whether the copy from the mail is the right one, the agent answers in plain words right away, so they keep going.
The agent nudges every client who still owes documents and stops the moment they finish. Your staff writes zero chasing emails.
Documents go to a private, expiring link that works on any phone with no login. Nothing arrives as an email attachment.
Every upload is checked against the list. A 2024 copy where 2025 is needed shows as doubtful, with the reason, before a preparer ever opens it.

An honest read for the tax organizer use case, based on what each option does. A PDF organizer is familiar but it is the very form clients stall on. Google Forms is free and simple. Jotform is broad and flexible. Superforms is built for getting this one set of documents in, with an agent doing the work.
The annual organizer for individual returns becomes a per-client request list the agent works through, plus the follow-up questions a preparer would otherwise send by email.
Intake for new and returning clients: income, deductions, dependents, and the documents that go with them, collected before the work starts.
New client intake and the year-end questionnaire, so the numbers arrive complete instead of in pieces.
The agent carries the chasing, so a three-person office gets documents in like a firm with a full admin desk.
Superforms is the front door. The agent gets the organizer and the documents in, complete, and hands everything to the tools you already run, like Drake, Lacerte, UltraTax, ProConnect, or TaxDome. Your returns, billing, and workflow stay where they are. Adding one focused tool is an easy yes.
It is the questionnaire a tax firm sends clients before their return, gathering income, deductions, dependents, and last year's information along with supporting documents like W-2s and 1099s. Superforms replaces the long form with a short itemized list per client and an agent that collects it: it asks for each item, answers questions, and follows up until everything is in.
Yes. Send us the organizer you use today, even a scanned PDF or a Word file, and we turn it into each client's request list. You keep the exact questions you already ask and you build nothing.
Ask for less and help more. Each client sees a short list of only what applies to them. The agent explains the hard terms, answers questions when they come up, and follows up until the list is done. Clients upload from their phone to one secure link with no login.
No, and on purpose. Superforms is the client-facing front door. You keep the tax software you already run, such as Drake, Lacerte, UltraTax, ProConnect, or TaxDome. Documents come back complete, named your way, ready for the tools you have.
Yes. Pilot firms get set up free this season: we build your request lists from your organizer, brand the agent to your firm, and run the first clients with you before the January rush.
