Why preparers switch

Everything included — nothing nickel-and-dimed

The features that actually win the deal, bundled into one flat monthly price. Never sold as add-ons.

No DocuSign or SafeSend needed

E-Signatures + IRS Identity Verification

Send any PDF for legally binding e-signature, signed right in the client portal. Built-in identity verification — government ID + selfie at NIST IAL2 — lets you e-sign Form 8879 compliantly without a separate DocuSign or SafeSend subscription.

Stripe-direct, no markup

Get Paid Before You Deliver

Deliver finished returns through a secure portal and gate the download behind payment. Clients can't open the completed return until your invoice is paid — collected straight through your own Stripe account, with no marked-up processing fees.

AI Document Intelligence

Upload a stack of client documents and AI classifies each one, extracts the key figures (income, withholding, employer, EIN), writes a summary, and auto-tags them — one at a time or in bulk. Powered by Claude.

Everything the big tools do — for a fraction of the price

FinishTax replaces the stack of subscriptions a typical firm cobbles together, bundled into one flat price.

Who it's for

Built for the way tax preparers actually work

Solo Preparer
40 – 150 clients per season

You handle everything yourself — intake, document collection, preparation, filing. Between chasing missing W-2s and tracking amendments, it's a lot to hold in your head. FinishTax gives you one organized place for all of it, even at peak volume.

Small Firm
2 – 10 preparers sharing clients

When multiple preparers share a client pool, things slip. Who collected the 1099s? Did someone already call about the K-1? The Firm plan gives your whole team a shared workspace with task assignment, pipeline tracking, and an activity log so everyone stays aligned.

Enrolled Agent
Year-round representation

Your work doesn't stop on April 15. Amendments, IRS correspondence, installment agreements — each needs its own task list and document trail. The activity timeline logs everything automatically so you always have a clear record of what happened and when.

Questions

Everything you need to know

Yes — completely free for up to 3 clients with no time limit and no credit card required. You get full task management, document checklists, PIN protection, and the dashboard at no cost. File uploads and unlimited clients require a paid plan.
On the free plan, your data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage — it never leaves your device. Your 4-digit PIN adds an additional layer of protection. On paid plans, data syncs to encrypted cloud storage for multi-device access.
On the free plan, clearing localStorage erases your FinishTax data — so we recommend using Export Data regularly (Settings → Export) to save a JSON backup. Paid plans store data in the cloud, so clearing your browser won't affect anything.
On the free plan, data stays in the browser you used. The Solo plan ($29/month) includes cloud sync so your clients, tasks, and files are available on any device you log into.
Any file type — PDFs, JPGs, PNGs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and more. PDFs and images preview directly in the browser. Storage is 500MB on Solo and 5GB on Firm. The free plan does not include file uploads.
Tasks are unlimited on all plans including free. The only limit on the free plan is the number of clients (3 max). Upgrade to any paid plan for unlimited clients and tasks.
When clients pay invoices via Stripe through FinishTax, we charge a small platform fee on the transaction (5% for Solo/Firm, 2.5% for Agency), on top of Stripe's standard fees. If you collect payments outside FinishTax, there's no fee.
Yes — the Firm plan ($79/month) supports up to 5 team members with a shared client pool, task assignment, and a team activity log. The Agency plan supports unlimited team members. Billing is per-account, not per-seat.
Yes — all paid plans include a 7-day free trial with no credit card required to start. Full access to all features during the trial. Cancel before it ends and you won't be charged.
Cancel anytime from Settings → Billing → Manage Subscription. Access continues until the end of your billing period. No cancellation fees, no contracts. Your account then reverts to the free tier.
No. FinishTax runs entirely in your browser — no download, no installation, no plugins. Works in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. On the free plan it works offline after the first load.
Yes, at any time. Settings → Export Data downloads all your clients, tasks, documents, and activity logs as a single JSON file — a permanent backup you can re-import anytime. Your data is always yours.

Your next tax season starts here.

Every client, every document, every deadline — organized in one place. Start free, upgrade when you're ready.

Free forever for up to 3 clients. No credit card required.
