Over two thousand accounting firms are already using Taxfiler and enjoying the benefits of the cloud revolution.
Tens of thousands of UK businesses use Intuit QuickBooks Online, the cloud bookkeeping software.
Now Taxfiler and Intuit have partnered to simplify the transfer of client details and trial balance figures straight from QuickBooks into Taxfiler Accounts Preparation.
Read on to see how Taxfiler and QuickBooks can benefit your practice.
Login to your Taxfiler account
If you don’t yet have a Taxfiler account, it only takes a moment to set one up.
Taxfiler delivers all the functions of traditional desktop tax software through powerful cloud servers, ensuring a quality user experience from anywhere.
Prices start at just £10 a month for a full suite of accounts preparation and tax return production software.
Connect Taxfiler to your clients’ QuickBook file
Taxfiler can only access the QuickBooks clients that you authorise by using your QuickBooks Online Accountant login.
Authorisation takes a few seconds, and this will create a new Taxfiler client with all the business details copied from the QuickBooks file. This saves you time and avoids errors.
Once you have connected Taxfiler to the correct QuickBooks client, the connection will be remembered for as long as you need.
Transfer trial balance figures from QuickBooks
Taxfiler and Intuit have worked hard to ensure that the QuickBooks accounts will map to the correct locations in Taxfiler, avoiding the need for tedious manual adjustments.
By understanding the QuickBooks account detail types, Taxfiler is able to make intelligent choices about where figures should appear in the accounts.
And if you do need to make any adjustments, this is quick and easy using the simple editing functions in Taxfiler.
Create and populate the Tax Return
Taxfiler will create the CT600 tax return and copy the figures from the draft accounts. Non-trading income and disallowable items will be identified and entered as adjustments.
Make further amendments to the return as required, specifying capital allowances, allocating losses and calculating any adjustments such as R&D tax credits.
Taxfiler will provide full computations and calculate the tax for the period that can then be included in the final accounts.
Submit accounts to Companies House
Finalise the accounts in preparation for filing. Taxfiler allows notes and disclosures to be entered and reviewed in moments.
Full accounts are created for client approval, including a Directors’ Report. An Accountants Report and Detailed Profit and Loss account can also be selected.
Once finalised and approved by the client, Taxfiler will submit abbreviated accounts to Companies House right from the accounts review page.
Submit Tax Return to HMRC
Make any final adjustments to prepare the Tax Return for filing to HMRC.
Taxfiler attaches the fully-tagged iXBRL accounts to the Tax Return and generates an iXBRL computation. Additional PDF attachments can also be uploaded.
Once the return is finalised an IRmark is generated and the client can approve the final submission.
After submitting the Tax Return to HMRC, the electronic receipt is retrieved and stored in the Taxfiler database.
Post a Journal to QuickBooks
Taxfiler can update QuickBooks to create the necessary tax liability for each relevant accounting period at the click of a button, helping to keep the clients’ books up to date.
Taxfiler and Intuit are currently working to improve the link further by including a full report of journal adjustments made for the final accounts and to automate the posting of all journals to QuickBooks Online.
