CompleteTax Pro™ Helps Professionals Build Business
(TORRANCE, CALIF., February,
2003) – CompleteTax ProTM,
the online do-it-yourself tax prep affiliate program designed to build
business for tax professionals, is now available in two versions with
different levels of customization. Developed by CCH Tax Compliance, a
leading provider of professional tax software and services, CompleteTax
ProTM
is a turnkey solution that can open a new revenue stream, build a firm’s
practice and enhance its web presence. (For additional information, call
1-800-841-8453 or visit tax.cchgroup.com/completetaxpro.)
CompleteTax Pro is CCH’s professional affiliate
program built around CCH’s proven CompleteTax.com online individual
tax preparation system. CompleteTax Pro is available in two versions for
2002 tax year returns: Standard and Private Label.
Standard Version Requires Minimal Involvement
Under the CompleteTax Pro Standard model, firms simply
provide a link from their web sites to a secure CCH server and customize
the program by adding their own name and logo to selected pages via the
CompleteTax Toolkit. Requirements for a firm’s involvement and
commitment are minimal.
All paying customers who take advantage of a firm’s
CompleteTax Pro Standard program are charged $24.95 to prepare and
process their returns. CCH handles the processing and provides complete
back-office product support, including program and data hosting on
secure servers, automatic program updates and maintenance, electronic
transmission of e-filed returns, technical support and all e-commerce
functionality, including credit card processing and revenue-sharing
distributions.
The new CompleteTax Pro Standard model is the perfect
choice for firms that are looking to simply build their business and
increase revenue streams. It requires little time and effort on a firm’s
part, which is very attractive to many professionals.
Firms Enjoy More Customization Options with Private
Label Version
With the CompleteTax Pro Private Label option, firms can
create their own private brand for the do-it-yourself tax preparation
product, with several web site and price customization features.
A firm’s Private Label version of CompleteTax Pro is
truly that. The firm creates its own unique brand name for the program
and chooses from six color schemes for the look and feel it prefers.
CompleteTax Pro Standard and Private Label are both
designed so that firms can encourage or seek out a greater level of
involvement with their self-preparing customers. One way to do this is
to enable the "Ask a Professional" option which allows users
to seek help from the firm’s professionals. Firms can also take
advantage of the "Ask a Professional" feature by using the
CompleteTax Toolkit to set parameters that will flag returns meeting
certain criteria, such as entries on forms that indicate an opportunity
to offer additional planning services.
These features provide firms with a logical way to show
how their individualized services can deliver value to this
do-it-yourself audience.
Whether firms or their clients initiate the contact,
professionals can readily import data collected from CompleteTax Pro
into their ProSystem fx Tax system, speeding the resolution of
questions and the setting up of client files.
Options, Standard Features With Both Versions
With either version, firms can also selectively offer
CompleteTax free of charge as a promotional program or as a goodwill
gesture for select accommodation returns, such as dependents and
students.
In addition to placing links on their own web sites,
firms can also place links to either the Standard or Private Label
versions of CompleteTax on the sites of their business or
organizational clients. The sub-account can be branded with the firm’s
or client’s logo, which allows the firm to reach through its clients
to the customers, members or employees using the site.
End-users of either version have access to a
comprehensive online help system including "Frequently Asked
Questions," CCH technical support via e-mail and optional Internet
text chat support. For help with substantive tax issues, users have the
online CCH Tax Guide for CompleteTax.
No matter which model they choose, firms will know that
they are supplying a high-quality product with lots of valuable tools
and content from a trusted source.
